Question

    Select the word segment which substitutes the bracketed word correctly and completes the sentence meaningfully.

    The bouquet of flowers (were arranged) beautifully by

    the florist.
    A was arranged Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B have arranged Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C are arranged Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D is arranged Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    "Bouquet" is a singular noun, so the correct verb should be singular as well. Therefore, "was" is the correct substitution. The other options ("have," "are," and "is") are incorrect because they do not agree with the singular noun "bouquet."
