Professor Brown, together with his students, ________to attend an international meeting in Paris next month.

A、have been
B、are
C、has been
D、is
【正确答案】：D
【题目解析】：该题考查主谓一致。由边际并列连词，如as well as, rather than, together with, along with连接的名词词组作主语时，谓语动词跟前面的名词保持一致。本句中要根据前面的名词Professor Brown确定谓语动词，故选择D。再如：The President, as well as his advisors, was aware of the risk of the mission.
