The members shall be selected by the board.
The members are selected by the board.
The members are being selected by the board.
The members were selected by the board.
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
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.
