Everyday we hear about senior citizens being robbed and even kill in cold blood.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3, i.e. and even kill in cold blood.

  • The tense portrayed is incorrect here. The former part of the sentence uses the verb in it's past form, that is 'robbed'. So, it is important to use the verb in it's past form to imply accurate sense, that is 'killed'.
