Each sentence below has two blanks, each blank indicating that something has been omitted. Choose the set of words for each blank which best fits remaining for the sentence as a whole.
Most of the committee members ________ in favour of the __________ of a new dam in that village.
Here, building or constructing both can fill up the second blank. However, was cannot be used in first blank as it is in singular form and we need plural form.
Hence, the correct words are 'were' and 'constructing'.
Therefore, the statement would read as:
Most of the committee members were in favour of the construction of a new dam in that village.
Option C is the correct option.
