Question

Choose the correctly formed sentence.

• B. The committee comprises of five members.
• C. The committee is comprising five members.
• D. The committee has comprising five members.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. The committee comprises five members.

• Comprises means consists of or is made up of.

• The verb comprise is directly followed by the components or members that form a whole. We do not normally use of after comprises.

• The sentence is in the simple present tense, which is appropriate for stating the composition of a committee.
