The strain of all the difficulties and vexations and anxieties ______ more than he could bear.

Aare

Bwere

Cwas

Daren't

Answer:

C. was

Read Explanation:

The subject of the sentence, "The strain of all the difficulties and vexations and anxieties", is singular. The word "strain" is the main subject, which is singular, so it takes a singular verb ("സ്‌ട്രെയിൻ" എന്ന വാക്ക് പ്രധാന വിഷയമാണ്, അത് ഏകവചനമാണ്, അതിനാൽ ഇതിന് ഒരു ഏകവചന ക്രിയ ആവശ്യമാണ്). "difficulties," "vexations," and "anxieties" എന്നിവ ബഹുവചനമാണെങ്കിലും, അവ "the strain" വിവരിക്കുന്ന വാക്യത്തിൻ്റെ ഭാഗമാണ്, അത് ഏകവചനമായി തുടരുന്നു. Therefore, the correct verb is "was".
