Answer : Option D
Explanation :
The subject is 'some of them' which is plural. Hence 'were' should replace 'was'. Also the second part of the sentence has to be in the passive as the animals cannot go out by themselves. They have to be taken out. Hence it has to be'were taken out'. They went 'on a procession'. The use of the preposition 'in' is inapt here. The correction, therefore, is 'were taken out on'.
