Correct Answer: emerged


Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.

Explanation : The phrase "were being emerged" is not grammatically correct. In English, when expressing the emergence or occurrence of something, the passive voice is not typically used with the verb "emerge". Instead, the active voice with the simple past tense "emerged" is appropriate for conveying the intended meaning.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "In the nineteenth century, many new ideas about education and learning emerged. "
