Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.
The road which connecting the two states is overcrowded.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. connects.
In this sentence, "connecting" functions correctly as a present participle describing the road. However, an alternative option that uses a different form of the verb, we could use "connects" and the sentence transformation would be "The road that connects the two states is overcrowded."
This uses "connects" as the simple present tense form of the verb, which is appropriate for indicating a general state or fact.
