Difference between was and were- “It was these months towards which the whole year moved on.”

Isn’t this month how year has shifted?

Why did the writer put were in place of was?

Since this is an inversion sentence as “it” is used, shouldn’t the verb be according to the subject: “these months”?

I am an academic at SDC, but decided not to take any exams.

Grammatically, the subject is not these months, to study is it, and is always singular.

What do you call anticipatory it? What’s it like to think of 2014 as “the
year of moving towards something”
What is that thing?
It was these months (towards which the whole year moved).
