Answer 1

Answer: B. Lisa's dad, one of the firefighters in town, was praised as a hero for rescuing a young boy.

Explanation;

Option A is not correct because the subject "Lisa's dad" is singular, but the verb "have been" is plural.

Option C is not correct because the verb part "are praised" is not correct since "are" is plural but the subject "Lisa's dad" is singular.

Option D is not correct because the verb "were praised" is plural and cannot match with the singular subject "Lisa's dad".

Therefore, option B is the only correct option left.
