A)
One of the chairs
B)
which was
C)
bought from the market
D)
was broken by Peter.

Correct Answer : Option (B) - which was


In this sentence, the subject is a relative pronoun (which). The verb agrees in number with the noun or pronoun to which the relative pronoun refers. Here, 'which' refers to 'the chairs', i.e., plural, so the verb in the second part of the sentence must be plural, e.g., chairs which were bought from the market.

B)
broadcast
C)

D)

A)

B)
she is
C)
rejected is because
D)
she is too young.

A)
Every man and
B)
woman
C)
will do his best
D)
to win the game.

If two singular nouns are joined by 'and', as well as preceded by each or every, the pronoun used must be singular and agree in gender with the second noun or the closest noun. So, replace 'his' with 'her' in this sentence, e.g., will do her best to win the game.
