What is the reason for the different verb agreements in the sentences: "The team and the coach are ready" vs. "The team, as well as the coach, is ready."?
Because 'the team and the coach' is a compound subject requiring a plural verb, while 'the team, as well as the coach,' treats 'the team' as the main subject, requiring a singular verb.
Because both sentences require a plural verb, but one is an exception.
Because 'coach' is singular in the second sentence, so the verb must be singular.
Because 'as well as' always makes the verb plural.
