• B. am
• C. is
• D. were

Answer 1

Answer:

C. is

• "Sentiment" is the singular (ഏകവചന) subject of the sentence. അതിനാൽ, വിഷയവുമായി യോജിക്കാൻ ക്രിയയും singular രൂപത്തിലായിരിക്കണം.
• "Is" is the present tense form that matches the current sentiment being discussed.
• Was: Incorrect if we are referring to the current sentiment.
• Am: Incorrect, as it does not match the subject "sentiment."
• Were: Incorrect, as it is plural and does not agree with the singular subject "sentiment."
