    A In the long run, we face the Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B disturbing prospect of the police becoming Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C gatekeepers over what content reaches Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D the public domain and what do not Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Here, ‘do not’ is incorrect because ‘content’ is the subject. So, ‘does not’ should be used. In the long run, we face the disturbing prospect of the police becoming gatekeepers over what content reaches the public domain and what does not.
