A legthy sentence with seemingly very different answer choices, but if one notices that there are a few common grammatical errors, one can answer question easily.
- Verb “were” should be singular as “the editor’s team” is singular. “She” on the other hand is an ambiguous pronoun with no clear antecedent.
- Again the same error incorrect usage of “were”
- Correct. This choice addresses all the issues, “the editor” is used in place of “she” which makes it clear that it is the editor who is delivering the keynote speech.
- Passive construction “was done by” is less preferred to other choices in active voice construction.
- This choice combines “the editor’s team” and “her secretary” thus making a plural subject, which requires a plural verb. Here the use of “was” is incorrect.

What about the use of the pronoun her in the answer C. Is that OK?
