Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

 Here, (b) is incorrect as there is no subject – verb agreement in this sentence. The subject – Anil, a singular proper noun and so, the verb – were at the movies, should also be singular and not plural. Thus, the correct would be ‘was’, which is a singular verb.
