Alternativa [B] The correct form of the verb 'to be' used in these sentences
is 'was' and 'were'. 'Was' is used with singular subjects and
'were' is used with plural subjects. Alternativa Correta: B

A questão aborda o uso do verbo "to be" no passado em inglês. O trecho extraído do livro "Charlotte's Web" de E.B. White utiliza de forma consistente o verbo "to be" no passado, o que exige do aluno um entendimento sobre como conjugar este verbo corretamente para singular e plural.

Vamos detalhar cada alternativa para esclarecer o porquê da correta e das incorretas:

Alternativa B: A corretíssima. A forma correta do verbo "to be" usada nas frases é "was" e "were". "Was" é utilizada com sujeitos no singular e "were" com sujeitos no plural.

Exemplo no trecho:
    
        Wilbur was lonely. (Wilbur estava solitário) - Singular
        The sheep were asleep. (As ovelhas estavam dormindo) - Plural

Alternativa A: Incorreta. "Is" e "are" são formas do verbo "to be" no presente, não no passado. O contexto sugere passado.

Alternativa C: Incorreta. "Has" e "have" são formas do verbo "to have", e não do verbo "to be".

Alternativa D: Incorreta. "Do" e "does" são utilizados como auxiliares em perguntas e negativas, não são formas do verbo "to be".

Alternativa E: Incorreta. "Am" e "are" são formas do verbo "to be" no presente, e "am" é usado exclusivamente com "I".
