Correct Answer: 4


Solution : The original sentence is discussing individuals who were injured in a past event, which is the fire accident. To express this correctly, we need to indicate the past tense, and we do that by adding "were" before "injured." This addition signifies that the injuries occurred in the past. Without "were," the sentence implies that these individuals are currently injuring themselves, which is not the intended meaning. Therefore, to convey that people were injured in the fire accident, we say "those who were injured."
