English Subject-Verb Agreement
Which phrase, when inserted between a subject and verb, does NOT create a compound (plural) subject?
Explanation
'As well as' is an intervening phrase, not a coordinating conjunction like 'and' — it does not make the subject plural.

Hint
Distinguish true compound-subject conjunctions from phrases that merely add extra information.
