Answer 1

Answer:

B. B

• The correct sentence should be: "The office with its furniture was set on fire."

Explanation:

• "The office with its furniture" is the subject of the sentence, which is singular.
• The verb should agree with the singular subject, so "were" should be changed to "was".
• Were is plural.
