    Solution

    B – Since the subject ‘farmers’ is plural, the verb used should be plural as well. So instead of ‘farmers has’, ‘farmers have’ should be used. E – Since the verb is already in the past tense with the use of ‘did’, only the present form of the verb should be used. So ‘did not slip into’ is the correct usage.
