Haha, this is a tricky one. Option D sounds like something my English teacher would mark wrong in a heartbeat.

I agree, option D definitely seems off. It should be 'make' instead of 'makes'.

I'm not sure. I think it might be C because 'forms' should be 'form' to match the singular verb 'was'.

I agree with Latricia. The subject 'editorial changes' should be followed by 'make' instead of 'makes'.

I agree with Elenora. Option D is the odd one out here. The rest of the options seem to be structured properly.

Option D is definitely the grammatically incorrect one. 'Changes' is plural, so the verb should be 'make' instead of 'makes'.

Yes, you're right. 'Changes' should be followed by 'make' instead of 'makes'.
