    Solution

    The verb agrees with the number of the main subject when the subject is followed by expressions like ‘with,’ ‘along with,’ ‘together with,’ ‘as well as,’ etc. Here, the main subject "Andrew Vaughn" is singular, so the verb should also be singular. Therefore, "are" should be replaced with "is."
