Answer 1

Answer:

A. is

• "We are happy that our Chief Minister with the members of his cabinet is to be present at the function." / ചടങ്ങിൽ ഞങ്ങളുടെ മുഖ്യമന്ത്രിയും അദ്ദേഹത്തിൻ്റെ മന്ത്രിസഭാംഗങ്ങളും പങ്കെടുക്കുന്നതിൽ ഞങ്ങൾക്ക് സന്തോഷമുണ്ട്.
• The phrase "our Chief Minister with the members of his cabinet" is considered a singular subject because it refers to the Chief Minister as the main subject, with the members of his cabinet as additional information.
• In English, when using "with" to link the subject to additional information, the verb agrees with the main subject (in this case, "Chief Minister"), which is singular.
