Was/Were
I want to know whether or not "was" or "were" is correct for this sentence:
Although Progressives tended to differ on their views of and solutions for society, it was clear that the corruption and poverty that were prevalent in society were large indicators that the system was flawed and change was necessary.
Thank you so much!
