Check the meaning of the words in blue in the text. Then read the title of the text. What do
you think in the public eye means? What kind
of people are usually in the public eye?​

1) ответ второй: it was
Потому что форма глагола to be "was" в времени употребляется только с местоимениями 3-го лица единственного числа (he, she,it) и местоимением 1-го лица единственного числа (I), для остальных случаев - were
2) ответ первый: no they were
Так как если в данном случае идет отрицание, то оно должно быть полным и звучать так: no, they were NOT (Нет, они не были)
форма глагола tell, соответственно, сказуемое и вопрос: did what? (told many stories) Сделал что? (Рассказал много историй)

My favorite means of communication is telegram. I like telegram because it's confidential. All messages are securely encrypted with protocols and various encryptions.The most interesting thing about this messenger is that in conversations, no one will know anything about each other if you configure privacy in the settings.Also in this Messenger free music and stickers.At any time, you can share your mood with the other person with various stickers. When Pavel Durov created Telegram, his main idea was privacy, so I admire Pavel Durov and his telegram
