Select the word segment that substitutes (replaces) the bracketed word segment correctly and completes the sentence meaningfully. Select the option ‘no correction required’ if the sentence is correct as given.
Airspace (remained largely closed) in Netherlands and Germany.

Correct option is B

• The sentence describes a past situation, so the past tense remained is appropriate.
• The country name Netherlands generally takes the article the (the Netherlands), while Germany does not take the.
• Option (b) correctly uses remained and the proper article usage: the Netherlands and Germany.

• (a) Uses present tense remains and incorrectly says the Germany.
• (c) No correction required is wrong because the original lacks the before Netherlands.
• (d) Uses present tense and also misses the before Netherlands.
