For this question, we are trying to figure out which verb fits the structure of the sentence better.
To do this, we must first find which word the verb is defining. The subject of a sentence (except in a few rare cases) is typically before the verb, and is always a noun.
There are two nouns in the sentence (Someone and rows). Which one is the verb expressing?
Well, let's think about it. Are the rows coughing? Somehow, I doubt it, so we're left with Someone. Someone is a singular pronoun, so the appropriate defining verb would be 'was'.
"Someone a few rows ahead was coughing uncontrollably, so I missed the speaker's closing words."
Hope that helped =)
I am not really sure about the context of this question, but I believe the best answer would be C.
The first choice seems to symbolize elements that are not really true American heritage but rather cultural.
The second choice, I believe, pertains more towards having fun. However, one can stretch the meaning giving modern events to represent a facet of American culture (guns) but it doesn't really represent heritage.
The last choice seems to also have a playful tone regarding the Lone Ranger. In specifics, however, the Lone Ranger and Wild West is not really representative of neither the entire American culture nor American heritage.
That's why I believe choice C, or "grandmother knits the names...", is the best option to choose.
