    Solution

    There was speculation that Nandkishore is up for the assembly speaker’s post, but the party plumped for upper-caste Bhumihar legislator Vijay Kumar Sinha in the end. Here ‘plump’ must be replaced by ‘plumped’. The sentence is in past tense and the subject and the verb must be in agreement with one another, so, the verb must also be in past tense.
