Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. The professor recently describes 1500 tests.

  • 'Recently' means 'not long ago', 'just now' etc.
  • Hence, 'recently' is not used with the simple present tense as it mentions an action which has been happened before.
  • Moreover, 'passed' and 'could' indicate that the sentence is in the past tense.
  • Therefore, it should be 'described'.

The correct sentence will be-

The professor recently described 1500 tests in which blind people passed with greater ease than those who could see!
