Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. which was always silently rolling.

"Which was always silently rolling" is a suitable option.

The singular subject "a mighty river" requires "was" instead of "have."

The phrase "which was always silently rolling" correctly provides a relative clause that describes the river.
