Answer 1

Answer:

was

Explanation:

Answer 2

One of the girls was singing. (Option d)

• The sentence begins with 'one of the girls' and suggest that it talks about a single person.
• Since it is singular, the auxiliary verb used will also be singular.
• 'Have', 'are', 'were' are all plural and cannot be used in the given context. Using were, are, or have would be grammatically incorrect.
• The sentence means that one of the girls present was singing.
