Some agitating miners allegation that there is no emergency measures inside the mines.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2, i.e. miners alleged that there were. 

Concept/Grammar rules

The noun ‘miners’ must be followed by the verb. 

But ‘allegation’ is not a verb and must be replaced with ‘alleged’.

Were will be used as 'emergency measures' is plural.

Hence, option 2 is correct.
