Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'A' - "is being built".
Subject-Verb Agreement:
In this sentence, the subject is "a new sports centre" and the verb is "is being built". The subject and verb must agree in number. Since "a new sports centre" is singular, the verb should also be singular.
Passive Voice:
The sentence is written in the passive voice. In passive voice sentences, the subject receives the action of the verb. In this case, the sports centre is being built by someone else.
Progressive Tense:
The verb form "is being built" indicates the present progressive tense. It shows an ongoing action that is happening at the present time.
Correct Option:
Option 'A' - "is being built" is the correct answer because it follows the rules of subject-verb agreement, passive voice, and progressive tense.
Incorrect Options:
- Option 'B' - "are being built" is incorrect because it uses a plural verb form with a singular subject. The subject "a new sports centre" requires a singular verb form.
- Option 'C' - "being built" is incorrect because it does not include the helping verb "is" to indicate the present tense.
- Option 'D' - "is built" is incorrect because it uses the simple present tense instead of the present progressive tense.
