Among the emotions on display in the negotiating room were anger for repeatedly raising the issue over and over again and preventing the raw wounds from earlier battles from ever beginning to heal.

A were anger for repeatedly raising the issue over and over again and preventing the raw wounds from earlier battles from ever beginning to heal
B was anger for repeatedly raising the issue and preventing the raw wounds from earlier battles from ever beginning to heal
C were anger over repeatedly raising the issue and preventing the raw wounds from earlier battles to begin healing
D was anger about the issue, which was raised over and over, and preventing the wounds from earlier battles, still raw, to begin healing
E were anger about the issue, which was raised repeatedly, and preventing the raw wounds from earlier battles to begin to heal

I believe the answer should be B.

Among the emotions "was anger". Since only one emotion 'anger' is described in the sentence, was is the correct usage and options A, C, and E can be ruled out.

Between B and D, option D has a very awkward construction. So select B. It has proper construction and mentions that among the different emotions there was anger about 2 things: repeatedly raising an issue and as a result preventing the wounds from healing.

I would pick B too. Among the ... [singular verb] talks about just one emotion

However, what about the following case:

Among the emotions on display in the negotiating room [was/were] anger, resentment and jealousy.

I would choose were in the above statement because, if you re-arrange the sentence as below:

Anger, resentment and jealousy were among the emotions displayed in the room.

Am I right?

B should be the answer, the subject anger is singular and thus will take singular verb was... Do not get confused because of 'and' as conjuction and joins the parallel ideas (raising the issue.... and preventing the raw..) which is both grammatically and logically parallel.

nox104 I think you are right... as the subject 'anger, resentment and jealousy' is plural because of 'and' the plural verb 'were' will be used.

Sorry buddies, but i do not agree with you both
I think among the emotions were anger......& preventing......
So BCD should be ruled out and E is not correct.
So A should be the answer.
OA Pls
