Correct option is B
Option
(b) contains a grammatical error.
Explanation:
The
adverb "now" should come
before or after the auxiliary verb, not in the middle of
"is thoroughly now".
Correct phrasing:
"is now thoroughly permeated" or
"is thoroughly permeated now"
The phrase
"is thoroughly now permeated" is ungrammatical in standard English.
Correct sentence:
Modern political praxis is now thoroughly permeated with a productivist ethos.
Grammatical rule used:
Adverbs of time (now, then) are typically placed
before the main verb but
after the auxiliary verb in a sentence.
Example:
· Incorrect: He is always late now.
· Correct: He is now always late.
