Hi Merve, let's look at this English sentence structure problem regarding verb tenses and logic.
Sentence Analysis
The sentence says: Tigers blank from India's national parks due to the activities of criminal gangs that the authorities blank to prosecute.
Tigers [blank 1] from India's national parks due to the activities of criminal gangs that the authorities [blank 2] to prosecute.
We need to find a pair of tenses that match the current, ongoing situation in India. This sounds like a general state or a developing situation in the present.
Key Context:
- Ongoing situation
- General fact or continuing process
Let's examine Option A. Would have disappeared is a conditional perfect, usually used for hypothetical pasts. Have failed is present perfect. These don't quite fit a factual statement about a current problem.
Option B uses have disappeared and are failing. While present perfect and present continuous are possible, the sentence implies a cause-and-effect relationship that is happening right now.
