Correct Answer: was close


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation: Were should be replaced with was, as the subject (the house) is singular. This maintains the proper subject-verb agreement in the sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "We made sure our new house was close to a good primary school when moving home last summer."
