Correct Answer: was one of the best thing you never get


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

The word thing should be plural. The phrase one of the best indicates that multiple things are being referred to, so the word thing should be plural to match the plural context as per the subject-verb agreement. The sentence discusses something that wasn't completed in the past. The verb get is in the present tense, but for the past actions, it should be in the past tense. Thus, get should be changed to got.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: We talked about writing a will, but it was one of the best things you never got around to doing.
