The sentence should read, "The British etsablished cities and towns in areas that were suitable for growing crops."

The verb of the sentence must agree with the subject in number and in person.

I would suggest changing the sentence to read, "The British formed cities and towns that were suitable for growing crops."

Answer 3

It should be "The British formed cities and towns that were suitable for growing crops."

Answer 4

The tense, it should be

Answer 5

It should be:
"The British formed cities and towns that were suitable for growing crops."

Answer 6

The British formed cities and towns that were suitable for growing crops.

"are" should be changed to "were", because you used the word formed, which is in past tense; so the whole sentence has to be past tense.

Answer 7

You vary your tenses

formed - past tense
are - present tense

A better wording would be;
The Bristish formed cities and towns that were suitable for growing crops.

As a general rule you want to be consistent with your tenses through the whole sentence.

Answer 8

The British build cities and towns....
You do not form cities... you build cities....

Answer 9

Tense between formED and ARE seems off, but is technically correct.

Answer 10

"Formed" is in past tense and "are" is in present tense; the verb tenses don't match.
