Question

Some of the boys _____ given a medal.
is
was
were
are​

Answer 1

Answer:

it will be were

Explanation:

the 'boys' are plural, so according to the tense (given) and number, 'were' will be used

Answer 2

Answer:

were

Explanation:

Boys are plural so we cannot use was.

GIVEN is in PAST tense, so we cannot give is or are.

So the only option left is WERE.
