Solution

The correct option is A a
Let’s examine the sentence: “He walked five miles which are really a great distance for a man like him who is not only old but also ill.” .” ‘Five miles' denotes a unit. So, the sentence requires singular verb 'is' and not ‘are.’ Hence, Option A is the correct answer.
