    B as the Delta variant drive Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C an exponential rise in daily cases Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D resulting of the second wave of COVID-19 infections Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All are correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    1- ‘from’ should be replaced with ‘of’. 2- ‘drive’ should be replaced with ‘drove’, as the past tense should be used. 4- the correct preposition after ‘resulting’ is ‘in’, not ‘of’. Though daily infections had gradually dipped at the start of the year, the relief was short-lived as the Delta variant drove an exponential rise in daily cases, resulting in the second wave of COVID-19 infections.
