Correct Answer: were ordered
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
The error in the sentence lies in the subject-verb agreement. "Furniture" is treated as an uncountable noun, and when referring to it as a whole, it should take a singular verb. In the corrected version, "New furniture was ordered", the singular verb "was" matches the singular noun "furniture".
