It's (a) vs (c) for me and (a) stands out, out of the two.

(b) is wordy.
(d) & (e) are wordy and convey the same as the original sentence in a more passive voice.

In option E (although its wrong choice, just for sake of understanding), it says 'All kinds of paper' and the verb is 'is'. Since paper is singular, IMO subj and verb agree in number. Thoughts pls

without going into the details of the question in hand...

can somebody please explain... which is correct??

"Because paper of all kinds is" vs "Because paper of all kinds are"

i spent 189 seconds and got this answer wrong.... I know there is something silly which I did not comprehend..

"Paper of all kinds is" is correct.

If you remove "of all kinds",you will see paper is singular.
