Correct Answer: is broadcast


Solution : The correct option is the second option: is broadcast.

Explanation: In this context, "The news" is a singular noun, and when used as a subject, it requires a singular verb and broadcasted is not the preferred past participle for broadcast in standard English as the correct form is broadcast. Since it is a passive construction the past participle form of the verb should be used .

So, the correct sentence would be: The news about the surge in COVID-19 cases is broadcast every morning.
