Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This sentence has an error in the use of gerund (burnings) that is in the form of plural form that must be in the form of singular to become correct. Option A suggests a plural form of gerund (burnings) that is wrong. Option B has misplaced the gerund (question burning) so that it becomes impolite. Option D uses a singular verb after a plural noun (is). Option E uses a verb form of past participle (burned) that is irrelevant. Option C uses a singular gerund (burning question) that suites well with the sentence; hence, option C is the correct answer.
