Answer 1

A third of the American soldiers were involved in military action. (Б) 

Answer 2

Правильный ответ: B) A third... were

Правильный вариант: A third... were

Объяснение: Поскольку "a third" относится к неопределенному количеству солдат, то следующий за ним глагол должен быть во множественном числе, поэтому правильный вариант - "were".
