Solution:
Subject-verb Agreement + Tenses
In the above sentence, subject is “the way…” and not “think and feel”. Because the subject is singular,
the verb must also be singular.
“…the way…is determined…” is followed only in C. Hence, C is the best choice.
A, B, and D are incorrect because plural verbs are used.
In E, “was” (singular but past tense) is incorrectly used since “think and feel” is present tense.
