Detailed Solution

        Where the sentence contains the phrase "as well as...", we do not consider that sentence to be part of the subject. We just have to determine whether the main subject is singular or plural. The verb is therefore singular or plural.
        Here, the cow is the subject, whereas 'as well as the horse' does not belong to it. Because the cow is singular, the verb will also be singular.
        So the right answer is Eat and the sentence becomes ‘The cow as well as the horse eat grass.’
