Correct Answer: one of them who was hiding behind a rock


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation : In this sentence, "one of them" is the subject, and it functions as a singular entity. So, the verb that follows should be in singular form. "Who was hiding" is the correct form, as "was" agrees with the singular subject "one of them". Additionally, the correct form of the verb after "who" is the gerund "hiding", which is used to express an ongoing or continuous action.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: " One of them who was hiding behind a rock fired at the villagers."
