• B. Incorrect = You, Correct = we
• C. Incorrect= thoughts, Correct= thought
• D. Incorrect= is, Correct= are

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Incorrect = You, Correct = we

The sentence has words like 'our', 'thoughts' which indicate that we are talking about many people or in plural. The first word of the sentence 'you' is incorrect as the remaining part of the sentence is in plural. So, the correct answer is B) Incorrect=you, Correct= we.
