Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. It were the farmers.
- In English, subject-verb agreement is essential, and the verb should agree with the subject in terms of number and person.
- In this case, "It" is singular, and "were" is plural. This is a subject-verb agreement error.
So the correct answer is;
"They were the farmers who wanted the government to increase the Minimum Selling Price."
