Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The first option is the correct choice.

The original sentence has an error in the subject-verb agreement since the singular subject "market" should be followed by the singular verb.

In this case, "This market" is singular, so it should be paired with a singular verb "was" instead of the plural verb "were". Additionally, since a singular market is being talked about, the correct demonstrative pronoun to be used is "this".

Therefore, the correct sentence is: This market was crowded with people.
