  3. 3
  4. 4
  5. 5

Explanation:

  1. 1

Answer: B

Explanation:

In this sentence, the subject is a relative pronoun (which). The verb agrees in number with the noun or pronoun to which the relative pronoun refers. Here, 'which' refers to 'the chairs', i.e., plural, so the verb in the second part of the sentence must be plural, e.g., chairs which were bought from the market.

In this sentence, the subject (the land) is an uncountable noun which is used in the singular sense, so the verb in the third part of the sentence must be singular, e.g., two-thirds of the land has been plowed.
