Question 13
Back to Exercise
The population of tigers in the National Park is increasing steadily, and this is a source of encouragement to those who have worked so hard to fund the conservation effort.
- A steady, and this
- B steadily: which
- C steadily; this trend Correct
- D steadily, this increase
- E No correction required
Correct Answer: Option C
Option(C) is correct
Both which and this should refer to a specific noun. Since the first part of the sentence does not provide a suitable noun, we must introduce a word such as increase or trend. D is incorrect as it uses a comma to link two sentences.
