Answer 1

Question 2

Step-by-step explanation:

#1 is incorrect because "were" is not the correct conjugation of "to be" in the past tense. "Were" should only be used by "you/you all," "he/she/they," and "we."

#2 is correct because "was" is the correct conjugation of "to be" in the past tense to fit with the "she" pronoun, the subject.

#3 is incorrect because it is the present tense.

#4 is incorrect because it's the conditional tense.

Answer 2

"she was lost in her longing to understand"
