• A. will have to be systematically tapped
• B. would have to be tapped systematically
• C. will have to be tapped systematically
• D. systematically has to be tapped
• E. systematically to be tapped

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The given sentence is: "In view of the energy shortage, solar and wind energy \(\underline{\text{will have to be systematically tapped}}\)."

The options provided are:

1. will have to be systematically tapped
2. would have to be tapped systematically
3. will have to be tapped systematically
4. systematically has to be tapped
5. systematically to be tapped

Let's analyze each option to determine the correct answer:

1. will have to be systematically tapped: This is the original phrase in the sentence. Although it is grammatically correct, there is a better construct for clarity.
2. would have to be tapped systematically: The use of "would" implies a conditional situation that is not present in the given context. Hence, this option is not appropriate.
3. will have to be tapped systematically: This option changes the order of words to make the sentence clearer. Moving "systematically" after "tapped" aligns the adverb directly with the action, improving readability while maintaining meaning.
4. systematically has to be tapped: This option suggests an awkward sentence structure and changes the emphasis in the statement, which is not needed here.
5. systematically to be tapped: This option creates a fragment instead of a complete sentence, making it grammatically incorrect.

After analyzing all the options, option 3, "will have to be tapped systematically", is the most appropriate and grammatically correct choice. It maintains the original intention of the sentence while improving clarity and readability.

Correct Answer: will have to be tapped systematically
