Key Points

  • If two or more subjects are added with the help of "and not, as well as, in addition to, along with, like, unlike, preposition(of, in, at etc..) then the verb and possessive adjective always come according to First subject (Farther one).
  • Eg. Price of cars are is hiking.
          The prices of cars are is hiking.
  • In the given sentence "he" is the first subject which is singular hence verb "were" will change into singular - "was"


Correct sentence:- He like the other members of his family was left shelterless as a result of flood in the town.
