I've been working on a multiple questions task and I'm not sure about the following two sentences:

1. A full list of products that _______ developed can be found at our website, so there is no need to include that information in your presentation:

a. [STRIKE]will been[/STRIKE] b. was c. are been d. [STRIKE]are being[/STRIKE]

I'm more inclined to opt for WAS (passive: was developed) but i think the verb developed is meant for products and as such it should be "were". So?

2. The new company gym is now open to all employees and management _____everyone to make use of it.

a. [STRIKE]are urged[/STRIKE] b. urge c. is urging d. [STRIKE]urged[/STRIKE]

Which one is most likely to be correct!

1) Try considering every alternative again and post reasons why, please.

BTW: Although I personally strongly favour the idea of the verb 'developed' relating to 'products', isn't there a slight ambiguity?)

2) What do you think and why?

Please, capitalise i (I - pronoun) even when it doesn't begin a clause. :)
