选择答案并说出原因
the public (was were)convinced of his innocence

通常应用单数was,但如果用了复数were也不算错.看你想强调什么.
象public,people(当作种族讲时),这类词叫集合名词(collective noun),在意义上是复数,而在语法形式上可是单数也可是复数.以如将各该名词所表示的集体视为一个整体,则动词用单数.如将侧重点放在组成集体的成员上,动词用复数.
如：
Chinese people is peaceful,hardworking and easily contented.中国人民爱好和平、勤劳勇敢,容易满足.
用单数的依据：
请看这一页上BBC News的题目：UK public wants a 'nanny state'
用复数的依据：
依然是BBC News的标题：Public want food 'traffic lights'
