The correct answer is: A. has been given
The theater company has already been given a grant of £6,000. This is evident from the fact that the sentence uses the past participle “given”. The past participle is used to form the perfect tenses, which express actions that have been completed or that happened before a certain point in time. In this case, the perfect tense is used to indicate that the theater company has already received the grant.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the meaning of the sentence. Option B, “is seeking”, suggests that the theater company is currently trying to obtain a grant. Option C, “will be given”, suggests
that the theater company will receive a grant in the future. Option D, “seeks”, suggests that the theater company is actively looking for a grant. Option E, “was given”, suggests that the theater company received a grant in the past, but this is not the case.In conclusion, the correct answer is: A. has been given
