New: SSC Stenographer Application Form 2024 Released
Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: were arresting
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
The error in the original sentence lies in the verb form "were arresting".
The correct form should use the past participle form of the verb "arrest", which is "arrested". In this context, "were arrested" is the correct passive voice construction, indicating that the action happened to the people (they were arrested), rather than them actively participating in the action of arresting.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "More than 30 people were arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences in Jammu and Kashmir."
