Question

Correct the sentence below:

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is E

Explanation:

Option A is wrong because there should be two companies needed for a merger, but this option makes it look like it's just one company  "gas and electric company is". For example, Procter and Gamble company is not a merger.

Option B is also wrong because if it is a merger then "are" in "and electric companies are" makes it wrong.

Option C has the same error as option B

Option D has the same error as option B  

Option E is the correct option because it eliminates the error in Option A; the merger of the nation's leading "gas company and electric company " and also eliminates the error in option B, C, and D, replacing "are" with "is".
