Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Correct sentence: The new jobs that are being created come as a result of governmental incentives to large co-operations.
Why this is correct:
The clause "that are being created" is a present progressive passive relative clause modifying "jobs," indicating the jobs are currently in the process of being created.
The phrase "come as a result of" is the correct idiom meaning "are caused by." "Come" must be followed by "as" in this expression.
Placing the relative clause before the main verb keeps the sentence clear: modified noun (jobs) + relative clause + main clause (come as a result of...).
Why the other choices are incorrect:
"are being created come" is missing the word "as" after "come," so the idiom is broken and the sequence is ungrammatical.
"were created to come" uses past tense and an infinitive that do not convey the intended ongoing causation; the idiom "come as a result of" is required instead of "to come."
"are created to come as" misorders the verb and the idiom, producing a phrase that does not fit standard English usage here.
Note: The word "co-operations" in the original sentence is likely a typo; the standard word in this context is "corporations."
