The fauna found in this area of the forest generally flee when approac

Question

The fauna found in this area of the forest generally flee when  approached  by humans.

A. approached
B. they are approached
D. they approach
D. approaching
E. are approached

daagh · Answer

I would go with B, even though A may be tempting. A is not good becuase the modifier ' when approached' can modify either the area of the forest or the the fuana. B maks it clear that the pronoun 'they' can only refer to the plural fuana. C, D, and E are bizarre

Adedami · Answer

The fauna is singular,so the use of are in B in not appropriate. A is okay.

If fauna is singular, then the sentence should have read, the fauna generally  flees . That was the deal breaker for me to choose B.

OA is A but I concern B the right answer, PLEASE explain me why A is a right one. Thanks a lot

Can someone explain why in the question:

Flee is correct? Since fauna is singular, shouldn't it be  flees ?
