Hehe ! Seems you guys missed the clue and fell for the decoy ....

A is almost correct expect the "are" at the very end ...

"what is much more difficult to determine" is a noun clause and noun clauses such as these are always singular.

(B) is correct


Good one...I too have fallen for A but your explanation is correct

Should be B

OA is B!

but I thought are is proper in this sentence because the personal reason, the changes and the extent "are". Why is it "is"?

So you are saying is belongs to "..what is.."?

are the personal reason Locke wrote the Treatise, the changes he might have made to his first version, and the extent to which the published version coheres with Locke's intentions.
