Answer 2

The correct answer is:

All of the people at the school, including the teachers and students were glad when summer break came.

Explanation:

The concept of singular and plural is taught at a very early age to understand the numbers and apply it in english.

If the object is one then it is singular and if the object is more than one then it is plural.

The above sentence has many number of teachers and many number of students so the verb is plural.

• When the noun is singular then just that word is being used in the sentence For eg: A egg, A banana.
• When the noun or pronoun is plural then, an 's' is added behind the word. For eg: Eggs, bananas, oranges etc.
• The determiners change too when the verb changes from plural to singular or vice versa.

Hence, the word students is used for the answer because it signifies many in number.
