Question

Which helping verb agrees with the subject and correctly completes the verb phrase? The politician __________ elected by the majority. A. does B. were C. are D. was

Answer 1

The correct asnwer is D. was
the subject of the sentence is "the politician", which is in singular so the verb needs to be singular too: B and C are not good

Additonally, we need a passive voice, and this is formed with the verb "to be" . "was" is a past form of "to be", and "does" isn't- so A isn't a good oprion.
