Why in?

Was is used with single entity and were is used with prural entity. So, I think option B is not the correct answer.

Jinto said:   1 decade ago
I am also think like that were is the correct answer

I think the group appointed for investigation suits better then investicating the case.

Vertika said:   1 decade ago
"group" is a singular entity. therefore, "was" is correct.

"group" is a singular entity. Therefore, "was" is correct.

I think thats wrong, because the case is the singular.

So "was" is the correct.

Agree with Vertika and Rameshraja. Group is a single entity.

Arka De said:   1 decade ago
Don't you people think that there should be a preposition after "investigating" ?

Amit said:   1 decade ago
I think the answer we use to investigate the case.

Sruthi said:   1 decade ago
Ya group is a single entity thats why 'was' is correct.
