  1. Superwoman is correct.  The verb needs to agree with the plural subject (two views); therefore, the plural form of the verb (were) needs to be used.  Don't be distracted by prepositional phrases that are between the subject and the verb.


  2. But you could also say

    The left femur was seen in two views.

  3. Two views of the left femur were seen.

    The subject of the sentence is "two views" which is plural.
You're reading: Two views of the left femur (was or were) seen. Which is correct?
