I beleive that option E is absolutely right answer because as here " they" refers to crowd which is perfect. So no correction required.

I agree with Vijay.

The answer to this question needs explanation.

I think the answer is A i.e., That he did.

I agree with pooja, those who think A then why not D, both are same sentence one is negative of the other one.

In the sentence "if he was right", so the should either be "he was" or "he wasn't". And I think I don't have to mention why not optn. C or b. So the ans is e.

Preethi said:   1 decade ago
Me too go with option A.

Why is it incorrect? Any one explain me.

Priya said:   1 decade ago
Option E is absolutely right. They did means they believe that he is right.
