Choose the answer which best rewords the underlined portion. If you think the original wording is best, choose option A.

  1. is becoming
  2. are becoming
  3. would become
  4. had become
Explanation
Answer: B - The best choice is “are becoming”

“Is” does not agree with the plural subject “reserves.” “Would become” and “had become” do not convey the sentence’s intended meaning. “Are” does agree with “reserves.”
