OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Coffee, which were first consumed in the 9th century when it was discovered in the highlands of Ethiopia, is prepared from roasted seeds of the coffee plants.
A. were first consumed in the 9th century when it was discovered in the highlands of Ethiopia, is
Incorrect.
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. The singular subject Coffee does not agree with the plural verb were.
B. were first consumed in the 9th century when it was discovered in the highlands of Ethiopia, are
This answer choice repeats the original mistake. The singular subject Coffee does not agree with the plural verb were.
In addition, this answer choice creates another Subject Verb Agreement mistake by changing the singular verb is to the plural are.
What helps identify this question as a Subject Verb Agreement question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign: A long, complex subject or a great distance between subject and verb
C. was first consumed in the 9th century when it was discovered in the highlands of Ethiopia, are
While this answer choice corrects the original Subject Verb Agreement mistake, it creates a new one. The singular subject Coffee does not agree with the plural verb are.
D. first was consumed in the 9th century when it were discovered in the highlands of Ethiopia, is
While this answer choice corrects the original Subject Verb Agreement mistake, by changing the plural verb were to the singular verb was, it creates a new one. The singular subject Coffee does not agree with the plural verb were (before the word discover).
E. was first consumed in the 9th century when it was discovered in the highlands of Ethiopia, is
This answer choice corrects the Subject Verb Agreement mistake in the original question, by changing the plural verb were to the singular verb was, to match the singular subject Coffee.
