Correct Answer: the students was
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
The error is in the subject-verb agreement. The correct form is "were" instead of "was" because "students" is a plural noun, and the verb should agree with the plural subject.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The students were given the task of penning down a short write-up."
