EnglishSentence Improvement

- Cwere being invited
- DNo improvement
Explanation
Phrases like 'as well as' do not change the number of the subject: the verb agrees with 'The teacher' (singular). So 'were invited' must become 'was invited'. Options B and C keep the plural verb, so only (A) is correct.
