Comments

yes you are correct

---

So why ‘were to be’ incorrect??

---

were to be is used in past tense.

like

the results were supposed to be announced yesterday, but due to some issue it was declared today.

Yes, I am getting ur view, but not clearly, why B) incorrect.

I think identify is a verb is present tense, which is making option B) as incorrect one.

but not sure.
