You’ll have to give the poem so we can see which structure it is :)
Hello
"Everyone were convinced that Ryan would pitch on Saturday."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Everyone <u>was</u> convinced that Ryan would pitch on Saturday."
Everyone were does not make sense,
everyone was does.
This is a simple mistake of point of view. Sometimes it can get confusing, which leads to grammar mistakes.
'Were' would be used in a sentence like "Where were you guys?"
'Was' would be used in a sentence like "I was gonna go, but I didnt."
Hope this helps!
Have a great day!
Some people are saying it's C-Deeply personal. Although, to be honest, ALL literature is A because it depends on how you interpret it. That's why we have literature classes and 10 people can write 10 different opinions on what the literature is saying. Since contemporary simply means the writing written after WWII era, it can range so much, that saying it's deeply personal, in my opinion, is too broad. So I would say A, unless you have something in your reading/lessons that say otherwise, or gives a specific answer.
