• C. Expected that it will almost double by the end of the year to provide

• E. Expected almost to double by the end of the year, which would thus be providing

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Expected almost to double by the end of the year and thus to provide

Almost is placed incorrectly both in Option A and B as either you expect or you don't. "Almost expected" is incorrect.

In Option C "production is expected that" is incorrect rather it should be "production is expected to ".

Option D is the best choice, "almost " placed correctly, "to Double" correct.

Option E is the incorrect choice, " which" is wrong and "who is providing".
