    Solution

    When a phrase comes between the subject and the verb, remember that the verb still agrees with the subject, not the noun or pronoun in the phrase following the subject of the sentence. Here, since ‘the consecration’  is singular, ‘was’ is correct. The consecration of the Eucharist, as well as the administration, was performed in English.
