Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Correct completion: are being created come as
Why this works:
The clause 'that are being created' is a relative clause modifying 'the new jobs' and uses the present progressive passive to show ongoing action.
The phrase 'come as a result of' is an idiomatic expression meaning 'happen because of'. Both 'come' and 'as' are needed to complete the idiom.
Putting them together yields a natural sentence: 'The new jobs that are being created come as a result of governmental incentives to large co-operations.'
Why the other choices are incorrect:
The fragment 'are being created come' omits 'as' and therefore fails to form the required idiom 'come as a result of'.
'Were created to come' uses past tense and the infinitive 'to come', suggesting purpose rather than stating a result; it does not fit the intended meaning or idiom.
'Are created to come as' is awkward and unidiomatic here, because 'to come as' suggests purpose and does not form the natural construction 'come as a result of'.
