Much of the world lived in countries that impose controls on what can and cannot be said about their governments online.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Much of the world lived in countries.
The verb 'lived' (past tense) conflicts with the present tense verb 'impose'. To maintain tense consistency, 'lived' should be replaced with 'lives' (present tense).
The subject 'Much of the world' is singular. While world may refer to a large group, it is treated as a singular noun, requiring the singular verb lives.
