The new policy, which would significantly impact how the school interacts with local businesses, ______ proposed by the headmaster.
Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The subject of the verb is "policy." The verb "was" is the correct past tense form to indicate that the policy was proposed in the past, and the verb agrees with the singular subject in number. The other choices do not agree in tense or number. Choice B is incorrect because it uses the present tense. Choice C is incorrect because it uses the plural form of the verb, which doesn’t agree with the singular subject in number. Choice D is incorrect because it uses the past perfect tense, which isn’t necessary in this context.
