Discussion
The President, along with the Council of Ministers, ___________ to visit India next week.
Select the most appropriate option to complete the above sentence.
Answer: B
The verb is wishes.
The subject is 'The President', which is singular. A phrase introduced by 'along with', 'together with' or 'as well as' is parenthetical and does not make the subject plural, so the verb stays singular: 'The President ... wishes to visit India'. The simple present also suits a stated intention about next week.
'Wish' is the plural form, which would treat the Council of Ministers as part of the subject. 'Will wish' and 'is wishing' put the wish itself in the future or as a passing state, which is not idiomatic for a planned visit.
