2) On sponge and instrument count, it was noted that one of the sponges WAS missing.
3 The costs of his research WERE paid by the hospital.
4) Dr. Jack, with the assistance of Dr. Jill and Dr. Pail, IS performing the surgery.

Liz is wrong.

The subject, "costs," is plural so the plural verb, "were" is correct.

Lori -- number 5 is incorrect.
