Answer 1

A vote of thanks was proposed at the end of the meeting. 

Explanation:

Vote of thanks was, is the correct use. The expression means a short formal speech in which you thank somebody for something and ask other people to join you in thanking them. As 'A' is used before the subject it will take was (singular verb). Therefore 'thanks was' is the right answer.
