Answer:
B. The Duke's last wife, immortalized in a painting, offended her husband's sense of
self-importance with her friendliness, eventually resulting in her questionable end.
Explanation:
This question refers to Robert Browning's famous poem "My Last Duchess".
The story's set in Duke's palace where the Count's emissary has come to arrange the details between Count's daughter and the Duke's marriage.
As the Duke show the emissary his palace, they stand in front of Duke's last wife's portrait and he tells his story of her.
We see that Duke was bothered by the Duchess's "over-friendliness" and that she was more impressed with other men's romantic gestures towards her than with her husband's old and respected family name ( this emohasizes his narcissistic character). This resulted in her mysterious death.
We can not judge her potential lack of loyalty, because the story is told from the perspective of a self-centered, egoistic man, whose depiction of events doesn't have to be true.
All we can infer from the poem is that her friendly nature and free behavior resulted in her death, probably by her jealous husband's hand.

Explanation:
The subject-verb agreement, simply said, represents the grammar rule where subject and verb must agree in number, so if the subject is singular, the verb must also be in singular and vice versa - if the subject is plural, then the verb must be plural too.
In the given sentence we have the subject: <em>a sophisticated indoor ocean - </em>which is singular and we have the verb: <em>are</em> - which is plural, so they do not agree in number, so we have to change the number of the verb in order to have the subject-verb agreement completed.
