Question

In the sentence given below, one word has been omitted. Write the missing word along with the words that come before it and after it.

Pollution not a new problem.

• A. Pollution is not
• B. Pollution will not
• C. Pollution had not
• D. Pollution was not

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Pollution is not

From the given options, Option B) pollution will not is incorrect without the word 'be' following 'not'.

Option C) pollution will not is not correct because the problem is 'new' and is in the present time.
Option D) Pollution was not is grammatically incorrect because again the problem is new but 'was' indicates that the problem was in the past.

So, the correct answer is A) pollution is not.
