Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e who belongs.
Statement: This appears to be the handiwork of someone who to belong to a criminal gang.
Relative pronouns who/which/that are used as a subject of the subordinate clause, and usually take the main verb after it. Thus, the use of "to-infinitive" is incorrect.
And "someone" is singular in meaning, so, belongs will be used instead of "belong".
Correct statement: This appears to be the handiwork of someone who belongs to a criminal gang.
