Can any expert explain what wrong with option B?
Lack of fresh water is an ongoing problem in the outposts, which was expected to continue until reinforcements arrive.
My Explaination :- relative pronoun "Which" and Singular Verb "was" are used, so both of these clearly refer to ---ongoing problem in the outposts...
whats wrong with option? how we eliminate
I guess this option is incorrect because of tense.....it was expected to continue...
Comments are highly appreciated
