(B) funding for instructional material, never was
(C) funding, the instructional material, was never
(D) funding for instructional material, the products were never（A）
(E) funding, they were never

请问这里never were sold 是个什么句式？倒装么？为什么用复数were呢？
谢谢指教！

the subject is Products, nerver were sold modify the products.
这里的due to a decline in public funding for instructional material, 是插入语，
应该是creating products that never were sold
that 修饰的是Products. 当然复数了，应该不是倒装吧，正常语序。
D和E选项出现了新的主语，属于SC的典型的错误，C和B中的WAS单数不对，
所以选A
不过其实这句话，我一开始都没有看的很懂，后来看选项排除的。
