[amp_mcq option1=”The members shall be selected by the board.” option2=”The members are selected by the board.” option3=”The members are being selected by the board.” option4=”The members were selected by the board.” correct=”option2″]
The correct answer is: B. The members are selected by the board.
This is because the sentence is in the present tense, and the verb “select” is transitive, meaning that it takes a direct object. The direct object in this sentence is “the members.”
The other options are incorrect because they are either in the wrong tense or they do not take a direct object.
- Option A, “The members shall be selected by the board,” is in the future tense.
- Option C, “The members are being selected by the board,” is in the present progressive tense.
- Option D, “The members were selected by the board,” is in the past tense.
In addition, option A does not take a direct object, while options B, C, and D do.
Therefore, the correct answer is: B. The members are selected by the board.
