Correct Answer: were seen


Solution : The correct answer is the first option.

Explanation: The correct option is "were seen" because it maintains subject-verb agreement. In the sentence, the subject "lots of kids" is plural, so the verb should also be in the plural form, which is "were" in this case. The phrase "seeing the road" completes the action and provides a meaningful and grammatically correct sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Lots of kids were seen crossing the road when the bus arrived.
