    Question

    Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
    At the end of our first two weeks on the island, we were informed that our lawyers...

    A.

    we are informed

    B.

    we get inform

    C.

    No substitution required

    D.

    we were inform

    Correct option is C

    No substitution required – the sentence is grammatically and contextually correct.
    Explanation:
    · The action "we were informed" is in past passive voice, suitable with the past setting "At the end of...".
    Grammatical rule used:
    · Passive voice of past simple tense: was/were + past participle (V3)
    Example: We were informed about the delay.
    Other options:
    · (a) We are informed – present tense mismatch
    · (b) We get inform – incorrect verb form
    · (d) We were inform – incorrect; should be "informed"
