Answer 1

The correct sentence is:- c) There were many trees around the pond.

• Here in the given question, it has been said to choose the correct sentence among the four other options that have been given here.

• The correct verb here is in the past tense that is were.
• The verb is used in the past and so it is 'were' here.
• And the verb is used in its plural form because there is more than one tree in the place.
• Hair in the given sentence means that there is one point and there are many trees surrounding that particular pond.
• Hence, the correct sentence is:- c) There were many trees around the pond.

Answer 2

The correct sentence among the given four options is (c) There were many trees around the pond.

Explanation:

• The given sentence is in simple past tense.
• It states that the pond was surrounded by trees (plural).
• As the sentence discusses about plural objects the verb used should also be a plural, 'were'. If the sentence described only a tree the verb used would be, 'was'.
• When sentences are plural the verbs are not only supposed to be in plural forms but also be in the same tense as the sentence.
• Therefore the grammatically correct sentence is "There were many trees around the pond".
