Solution

The correct options are
A some maimed
D NO CHANGE
Choice A and D are correct. In Choice A maimed is the intransitive verb that completes the sentence. In Choice D, 'were' is the correct auxillary verb for the subject. Choice B is incorrect as it is too wordy. Chioce D is incorrect as the auxillary verb is missing in the sentence. Hence A and D are correct.
