Question 1
Choose the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks of the given sentence.
Numerous criticisms of medical science ______ in recent years, with critics arguing that spurious diseases ______ for the aim of profit.
Solution
Option C: Correct.
Understanding the tense here through the sentence is the key.
On the first glance the sentence is talking about an event that has happened in the past (criticisms...in recent years), and the impact of which is continuing to the present as well (critics arguing)
So we know that we have to use a combination of Present perfect and present continuous tense.
The only option that uses the right combination of these tenses in the right sequence is option C.
