Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Many of us have striving to produce.

The error lies in part 1 of the statement because of the wrong use of the verb.

Concept-

  • We need to replace 'striving ' with 'strived' to make the statement grammatically correct.
  • After 'have' only the third form of the verb is used.
  • So we need to use 'strived' at the place of 'striving '.

The correct sentence will be-

Many of us have strived to produce a blend of all cultures that seem today to be in clash with one another.
