Which of the following changes should be made to CORRECT sentence 5?

In order to correct sentence 5, you would need to change \u201Care\u201D to \u201Cwere.\u201D The sentence is written in the past tense; therefore, the verb needs to also be written in the past tense. \u201CAre\u201D is a present tense verb and \u201Cwere\u201D is a past tense verb. When there are only two items in a list, you should not use a comma after the first item. The other answer options are not options that would make the sentence grammatically correct.
