Hi, I will really appreciate it if you help me out with these questions.

1- The A(oldest) examples of alphabetic writing discovered so far B(are) almost 4,000 years old, but, because C(they are) written in an obscure alphabet, D(it) cannot be translated completely. No error

I understand why the answer is D, but isn’t C supposed to be (they were) instead of (they are)?

2- Evidence discovered in regions that A(were once) part of the Roman Empire B( suggest that) the Romans used a covering C(called) a hipposandal D(to protect) their horses’ hooves. No error

The answer is B but why? What’s wrong with B?
