Question

The group _______ excited to see one another again. Which verb agrees with the subject in the sentence? A. were B. am C. was D. are

Answer 1

I would say C. “was”. It’s definitely not “am”, because that just sounds completely wrong. It’s not “are” because that sounds a bit wrong, too. It can’t be “were” because it’s only referring to one group, not many groups. The only answer it could be is C.
