Problem 6 - Entrance Test

While climate change presents a formidable challenge, scientists are exploring innovative solutions, such as carbon capture technologies, which (a) hold (b) the potential (c) to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions (d) and (e) mitigating the effects of global warming.

Correct: C

The phrase "to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions" is an infinitive phrase. To maintain parallel structure, the second part of the phrase should also be in the infinitive form. Therefore, "to mitigate" is the correct answer. Thus, (C) is correct.
