## Step 1<br />The problem is about subject-verb agreement in English grammar. The sentence given is "As a result of The Jungle and other exposure the U.S. government were forced to institute regulations". The subject of this sentence is "the U.S. government", which is a singular entity, even though it refers to a group of people.<br />## Step 2<br />The verb "were" is a plural form and does not agree with the singular subject "the U.S. government". Therefore, the verb should be changed to its singular form "was" to make the sentence grammatically correct.<br />## Step 3<br />Option B, "Change were to was", correctly addresses this issue. The other options do not correct the subject-verb disagreement.
