Correct Answer: everyone were up and buzzing.
Solution : The segment with a grammatical error is the first option.
Explanation: The error in the original sentence is the incorrect use of the verb "were" with the subject "everyone." "Everyone" is a singular pronoun, and it requires a singular verb form, which is "was". The correct subject-verb agreement in this context is "everyone was up and buzzing."
So, the correct sentence would be: "Although people had been on watch and the watchkeepers were very, very tired, everyone was up and buzzing".
