Answer 1

Here the correct answer is Has gone on.
Key Points

''If two subjects are joined by expressions like 'along with, as well as, in addition to, besides, nothing, unlike, like, no less than etc.' the verb that follows agrees with the first subject".
For Examples:-
- Rohan as well as his friends is playing.
- They along with their teacher are going on vacations.
In the given sentence, the verb must agree with the first subject i.e. Supriya.
The singular form of the verb i.e. has should be used.
On the other hand, 'on' will be used because it means in the course of (a journey).
- For Example - He was on his way to see his mother.
Thus, 'has gone on' will be used instead of 'have gone of'.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

Hinglish

''यदि दो विषयों को 'along with, as well as, in addition to, besides, nothing, unlike, like, no less than आदि' जैसे भावों से जोड़ा जाता है। निम्नलिखित क्रिया पहले विषय से सहमत होती है"।
उदाहरण के लिए:-
- Rohan as well as his friends is playing.
- They along with their teacher are going on vacations.
दिए गए वाक्य में, क्रिया को पहले विषय यानी Supriya से सहमत होना चाहिए।
क्रिया के एकवचन रूप अर्थात has का प्रयोग किया जाना चाहिए।
दूसरी ओर, 'on' का प्रयोग किया जाएगा क्योंकि इसका अर्थ है (यात्रा) के दौरान।
- उदाहरण के लिए - He was on his way to see his mother.
इस प्रकार, 'have gone of' के बजाय 'has gone on' का उपयोग किया जाएगा।
इसलिए, सही उत्तर विकल्प 2 है।
