Correct Answer: were disappointed


Solution : The second option is correct.

In the given sentence, the plural noun players suggests that the verb must also be plural. Hence, the auxiliary verb "were" will replace "was" in the underlined part.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The players were disappointed with their poor performance.
