It was anomalies in the orbit of Uranus that led to the discovery of Neptune.

A) It was anomalies in the orbit of Uranus that
E) The anomalies in the orbit of Uranus was what

My pick was E), because it looks more concise to me. However, the correct answer is A). The explanation is that the subject and verb don't agree in E). Doesn't the same error apply to A) given the explanation on E)?

Thanks in advance!

plural/sigular

Shouldn't A) written as Those were anomalies in the orbit of Uranus that led to the discovery of Neptune.
I think that the phrase "anomalies in the orbit of Uranus" is plural.

I am so confused!

I very well remember coming across this question during my prep.

Please note that the author is talking about the reason for discovery and not the reasons.
Hence "It was anomalies" is correct.

Ask yourself, "What led to the discovery?"
Answer is "It was" that is "Reason for that to happen was "existence of anomalies"

Hope you got this.
