Select the most appropriate word to fill in the blank.
The trio of women at the table ____________ representative of the enormous flux of American life.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. was.
The correct answer is "was" because "trio" is a singular subject, and singular subjects take singular verbs.
The phrase "was representative" correctly agrees with the singular noun "trio," making "was" the appropriate choice.
Also, it's a general statement so simple past tense should be used.
