Question 106

The rise in negative attitudes toward foreigners indicate that the country is becoming less tolerant, and therefore that the opportunities are ripe for extremist groups to exploit the illegal immigration problem.

Solution

The subject "The rise" is singular. Therefore, it should be 'indicates'. Hence, option A is not the correct answer.

We can directly rule out option C as it contains 'that' after therefore.

Between option B and D, the former is better as this shows a progressive process. As the period can't be defined. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
