Hi,

Question:
1) Which sentence is more native / correct?
2) If none of them is good, could you please rewrite it?

Sentence1:
Reducing the number of question was not the best way to solve our problem.
The best way was to send them the questions before the class started.
Sentence2:
Reducing the number of question was not the best way to solve our problem.
The best way was sending them the questions before the class started.

Sentence3:
Reducing the number of question was not the best way to solve our problem.
Sending them the questions before the class started was the best way.


Thanks

Question:
1) Which sentence is more native / correct?
2) Please rewrite the sentences that are incorrect.

I favor the first one as the most natural, but all are grammatical.
