Hi.. I'm prepping for SC at the moment and read this in a leading business journal, and want to know whether such a representation is correct:
"The board did debate on it and were not pleased with it".
I would have thought that it's wrong and that you could much rather say:
"The board debated over it and was not pleased with it".
"The board did debate on it and were not pleased with it".

I think here debate is used as a noun so "debate on" is correct.

But here debate is used as a verb and so "debated over" is the correct idiom.

One more mistake which i can see is the agreement in numbers,
It should be was not pleased instead of were not pleased, as board is a singular entity
