Answer 2

Answer:

It was the afternoon of a cold, grey December day. The streets outside were (a) filled with snow. The window panes (b) were stuck with white sparkling flakes. Inside all the family members were (c) sitting around the kitchen fire.

Explanation:

In the first sentence, it is talking about snow-covered streets. Therefore, the word 'filled' is used.

'Were' is used when the subject is in the plural form.

As the third sentence is about a family spending time together around the kitchen fire, the word 'sitting' is used.
