a)A b)B c)C d)D

Answer 1

Answer:

c is incorrect in the above

Answer 2

C) Everyone were hiding in the kitchen

Explanation:

• The correct sentence is:

As Maria returned home she found the hall to be empty as everyone was hiding in the kitchen.

• The error is in the third section of the sentence.
• The use of the auxiliary verb 'were' is incorrect.
• Since the subject here is 'everyone' which is treated as a singular number, therefore the auxiliary verb will also be in the singular. Hence, instead of 'were', 'was' will be used. This helps in building subject-verb-agreement.
