Correct Answer: was warm


Solution : The fourth option is correct.

Explanation : In the original sentence, the subject is the day , indicating a singular entity. However, the verb (are) is plural, resulting in a lack of agreement in the tense. To rectify this, the appropriate past tense form of the verb (be) for a singular subject, was , should be used.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "The day was warm , so the students ate their lunch outside."
