Select the correct pair of words that complete the given sentence.

In him _ centred their dreams and their aspirations and he _ well acquainted with this fact.

(A) was, were

(B) were, was

(C) were, has

(D) were, is

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(A) only

(B) and (D) only

(A) and (D) only

(B) and (C) only

✅ Correct Option: 2

The subject of the first blank is the plural 'their dreams and their aspirations', so it takes 'were'. The second blank refers to 'he', so a singular verb ('was' or 'is') fits. Pair (B) 'were, was' matches the past narrative, and (D) 'were, is' is also grammatically possible if the fact still holds. Hence (B) and (D).

Note: Strictly by tense consistency only (B) fits, but since no '(B) only' option exists, we selected the option containing (B) and (D).
