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

Thousand of new visitors come to the country each year.

  1. Thousand
  2. Many thousand
  3. There are thousands
  4. Hundreds of thousands
Explanation

Answer: D - The best choice is "Hundreds of thousands"

"Thousand" indicates one thousand, which does not fit within the context of the sentence. Using "there are thousands" results in a grammatically incorrect sentence. "Hundreds of thousands" properly reflects the number of visitors traveling to Belize.
