Fill in the blank with the most suitable collocation.
They are______________ on the current projects of constructions.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. making progress
Context: The sentence is: "They are______________ on the current projects of constructions."
It means they are moving forward or improving in their work on the projects.
Meaning of the words:
-
having progress → incorrect usage; not a proper collocation
-
make progress → base form; used with subjects like "we" or "they" in simple present
-
making progress → correct present continuous form for "are" + verb
-
inviting progress → incorrect meaning; not suitable here
Correct word: making progress
Reason: The phrase making progress is the correct collocation to indicate continuous improvement or development in ongoing work. It fits perfectly with "are".
Final Sentence: They are making progress on the current projects of constructions.
Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
