Identify the one underlined word or phrase that should be corrected.
1.Although farmers complained that the company's new product was expensive,malodorous,and dangerous to handle(A),there was(B) few who would dispute(C) its effectiveness as(D) a insecticide.No error(E).

I'll ignore the (A), (B) etc. because it is too confusing to try to figure out why they are there!
1. WERE (not was few)
2. strange to say "which" because I like "who" so much better!
3. "in the affairs of morals" seems strange but if you can accept that = no error
4. and me (not for I)
5. definitely NOT "flown by" because she was not flown, but the monoplane was!
