Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select "No Improvement Required".

The civic bodies in the capital have formed teams to crack down on coaching centres found violated a law.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. found violating the law.  

Concept/Grammar rules

Application

The use of ‘violated’ is incorrect as the verb ‘found’ will be followed by its 'ing’ form because the sentence cites a future aspect that could happen.

So, ‘violated’ must be replaced with ‘violating’ here.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
