Answer: were
Student Choice, Answer with ExplanationExplanation: The structure of sentences with “More than” is as follows:

*More than one + singular noun + singular verb.

*More than two/three/… + plural noun + plural verb.

In the sentence above, “More than” is followed by two and then a plural noun, which requires a plural verb. Since the sentence is in the passive form, the correct verb would be “were.”
