The wise leader and politician assassinated.​

Explanation:

was

It's the only word I can think of that can go in the blank.

I had intended to leave the interesting comment made by a student and my response in the comments, but I decided to copy them and put them here.

Just out of curiosity, why would it not be were? I was thinking that the wise leader and politician could be grouped into “they were” rather than “they was”.

Interesting comment. I hope the asker reads what you've said and how I replied. You took it as two different people. I took it as one: somebody like JFK or MLK. There is no way to make it clearer, and retain the simplicity of the sentence.

I'm working on my cell, which I find impossible to do well.

Oh! Thank you for helping me understand

    prior to dee leaving home, the everyday objects in her household were just that- everyday objects. she took no special notice of any of them. however, once she returns home, all of these objects represent great culture significance to her. she is incredibly enthused about how great the wooden benches and old quilts are because she thinks it is in-style to be in touch with her own culture.

hope this : )

explanation

old disney was more kid oriented as appose to new disney it's more teen oriented.i guess what i'm trying to say is new disney is way more mature and out there then old disney. for instance all you see in new disney is bf/gf drama and old disney it was nothing like that. kids are growing up and as coorpations like disney, nickolden etc they tend to follow what kids follow so they can have more views . therefore   they have inferred   that now days kids want to have relationships and stuff so that's what disney gives them.
