Solution

The correct options are
A Were they a bunch of fishermen?
B Weren't they a bunch of fishermen?
'Yes/No' questions are those questions which start from helping verbs like was, are, were, is, etc.
In such a case, the order is Verb + Subject + Object. In the given sentence, 'were' is the verb, 'they' is the subject and 'fisherman' is the object. The answer can be in a negative scenario.
Thus, options A & B is the correct answer.
