The authorities are looked on the matter.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Are looking into the matter.
- The sentence should be in the active voice as 'the authorities' are doer here. So, it should be either option 3 or 4.
- 'Look into' is a phrase meaning 'investigate', 'examine' etc and makes a coherent sentence.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
