Q49

The manner in which the demolitions have been carried out ________ scrutiny by the High Court.

  1. (a) was under
  2. (b) under
  3. (c) is underCorrect answer
  4. (d) however under

Solution.

Answer: (c) is under

  1. The head of the main subject is singular “manner”, so it takes “is”.
  2. “Under scrutiny” means being examined, and the present perfect “have been carried out” naturally connects completed demolitions to the current scrutiny.
  3. Options (b) and (d) lack a finite main verb.
  4. “Was under” could be used in a wider retrospective context, but (c) is the most natural completion of the standalone current statement.
