The rest of the choices require corrections

@royalkiwi Don't just give direct answers.

OpenStudy (royalkiwi):

Well, for answer A, "was" isn't the correct tense form. It has to agree with the verb. Therefore "were" would agree with the -ed ending of prefered

OpenStudy (royalkiwi):

For B, "not one" isn't the correct way to say it. It should be "none."

OpenStudy (lordhelix8th):

ok

OpenStudy (lordhelix8th):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

PLEASE HELP ME @royalkiwi

OpenStudy (royalkiwi):

For choice D, "has" should be replaced with "have" because it shows that the students have already received training, therefore are experienced.
