Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The correct answer is the second option because 'was activated' should be replaced with 'were activated' as the helping verb 'was' doesn't agree with the plural subject violating the subject-verb agreement.
In the first option, 'is activated' is incorrect as per the subject-verb agreement and in the third option, it is the error of tense as it should be 'activated' not 'activate'.
Therefore, the correct statement should be "As he tried harder, his steps showed, his senses were activated."
