Choose the best way to improve the italicized words in the following sentence.

"Los manuales hemos abarcado un sinnúmero de posibilidades y hemos abreviado el tiempo que se necesita para completar los trámites."

  1. abarcando, abreviando
  2. abarcados, abreviados
  3. abarcó, abrevió
  4. abarcan, abrevian
  5. No es necesario hacer ninguna corrección
Explanation

Answer: D - Response D is the correct answer because the two verbs in the third person plural [abarcan (“cover”) and abrevian (“shorten”)] agree with the masculine plural subject manuales (“manuals”).

Responses A and B use incorrect verb forms (gerund and participle). In responses C and E, there is no agreement between verbs and subject.
