Yes, that's right. There were no picture. They were asked to write an article.

Answer: 1 is

Wei Ming is the main subject.

While this is \"grammatically correct\", thanks mainly to a dubious comma, many native speakers would use \"are\" and would not expect to be picked up on it. The subsequent sentence indicates that the effective real subject is \"they\".

Compare and contrast with:
Wei Ming and his brothers are down with flu. They are now resting in bed.

There is no logical distinction in meaning between these sentences.
