Which verb correctly completes the sentence?

Despite the heavy rain, the members of the band __________ flawlessly in the parade.

Aperform
Bperforms

Verified Answer :

Aperform. Because band is singular and the sentence is in the present tense.
Aperform

The sentence's subject is {members} and is modified by {of the band}. The predicate (usually the verb) should always answer to the subject and not the modifier. The subject is plural, so the verb should reflect that (verb without the -s, in this case, perform).
