    C C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In (D), replace "persists" with "persist." The subject of the sentence is "implementation challenges," which is plural. Therefore, the verb should also be in the plural form, i.e., "persist."Ā  The sentence would then read: "The government has announced new guidelines to improve air quality in urban areas, but the effectiveness of these measures remains to be seen as implementation challenges persist." Therefore, (D) is the correct answer.Ā
