Correct the sentence: “Jeans was not permitted in this college.”
(A) Were
(B) Was
(C) Had
(D) Will
In English, “jeans” is plural, just like “trousers” or “scissors,” so you use “were” instead of “was.” The other choices—“had” and “will”—don’t fit because they don’t show past permission here. The answer is (A) Were.
