Answer» Out of the GIVEN SENTENCES, the only correct sentence is given by option 5. Here, 'the MAN' and 'the fact' are both being referred to- both of which are singular nouns. So, both must be referred to by the singular verb 'was' and not the plural verb 'were'. Therefore, the correct answer is option 5. |
