Correct Answer: was surrounded


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

We should always use the singular noun with the singular verb. The verb "surround" needs to be in past participle form to correctly form the passive voice. And "were" would be replaced with "was" to maintain the subject-verb agreement.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "The crime scene was surrounded by yellow tape."
