ask questions because if you ask the questions you are confused about, then it should clear it up.
My best bet would to go with 'were' because they sound similar and it just seems more professional.
In Jack London's "To build a fire" the main theme is Man vs. Nature, the main character is crossing the Alaskan frozen landscape, following the path of the Yukon river. He dismisses the advice of the old-timer and he also doesn't pay attention to his companion, the dog who can feel the threat of the harsh weather. The right answer is the second option.
Mawi's father was afraid that the Ethiopian army was going to make him a nurse for the army. He could not take his family because it would too much time and he wanted to keep them safe.
Two teens must learn the “art of killing” in the first book in a chilling new series from Neal Shusterman, author of the New York Times best selling Unwind dystology.
In a world where disease has been eliminated, the only way to die is to be randomly killed (“gleaned”) by professional reapers (“scythes”). Citra and Rowan are teenagers who have been selected to be scythe’s apprentices, and despite wanting nothing to do with the vocation, they must learn every method of ending life and come to understand the necessity of what they do.
Only one of them will be chosen as a scythe’s apprentice. And when it becomes clear that the winning apprentice’s first task will be to glean the loser, Citra and Rowan are pitted against each other in a fight for their lives.
Hope this helps.
