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'.
