Peter rather than I going to go camping this winter vocation. A. am B. is C. are D. will be

The sentence requires a verb that agrees with the subject "Peter," which is singular. The phrase "rather than I" is an additional element that doesn't affect subject-verb agreement.

B. is

The correct sentence is: "Peter rather than I is going to go camping this winter vacation." This follows the rule that when "rather than" introduces a contrast, the verb agrees with the main subject ("Peter") rather than the contrasting element ("I").

Why not the others? "Am" (A) matches "I" but not the main subject; "are" (C) is plural; "will be" (D) creates grammatical redundancy with "going to."

What if the sentence used "and" instead of "rather than"? Then "Peter and I are going..." would be correct—showing how conjunction choice dramatically affects subject-verb agreement.
