Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: D. The suspect was seen by people in several cities.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the meaning of the sentence.
- Option A: The suspect is being seen in several cities. This is incorrect because it implies that the suspect is currently being seen in several cities, when the sentence only states that people claim to have seen the suspect in several cities.
- Option B: The suspect has been the people in several cities. This is incorrect because it implies that the suspect is a group of people, when the sentence only states that the suspect is an individual.
- Option C: The suspect is claimed to have been seen in several cities. This is incorrect because it implies that there is some doubt about whether or not the suspect was actually seen in several cities, when the sentence states that people claim to have seen the suspect in several cities.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. The suspect was seen by people in several cities.
