The masses, though well-intentioned, preferable to remain passive spectators.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. prefer to remain.

As "the masses" works here as a subjet we need a verb for it.

"Prefer" will work here as a verb so it will improve the sentence grammatically.

The correct sentence will be-

The masses, though well-intentioned, prefer to remain passive spectators.
