    The doctor with his interns are due to arrive here by

    A The doctor with his Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C to arrive here by noon Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D interns are due Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The subject of the sentence is "The doctor," and "interns" is a separate, non-essential part of the sentence, connected by "along with." Therefore, the verb should agree with the singular subject "The doctor," so it should be "is due" instead of "are due."
