Improve the bracketed part of the sentence.
The speed with which (these hate crime videos travelling) on social media frames a difficult challenge for law enforcement authorities.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. These hate crime videos travel.
- 'These' is a plural pronoun so it requires a plural verb i.e. 'hate'.
- 'This' is a singular pronoun so it requires a singular verb i.e. 'hates'.
- Since 'hates' is nowhere so we have to keep 'these hate'.
- 'Videos' is a plural subject so it requires a plural verb i.e. 'travel'.
- For keeping 'travelling', an auxiliary verb is required which is not mentioned anywhere.
- Since 'frames' shows that the sentence is in the present tense, 'travelled' is incorrect.
The correct sentence will be-
The speed with which these hate crime videos travel on social media frames a difficult challenge for law enforcement authorities.
