Correct Answer: and called migrant workers


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation : The segment "and called migrant workers" contains the error. We would replace "and" with "are" to make the sentence correct. Since "workers" is a plural noun, the correct linking verb would be "are" with it. And there is no separate clause in the given sentence. Hence, "and" should not be used.

So, the correct sentence would be: "Many workers move from one state to another are called migrant workers. "
