Fill in the blank with the correct option. The report is very critical and is clearly ______.
A
Intended to
B
Intended to be
C
Intended
D
Intend to be
Correct Option:
B
Explanation
The natural construction is: "The report is very critical and is clearly intended to be." The omitted idea after "be" is understood from the earlier adjective "critical": it is clearly intended to be critical. "Intend to be" would be wrong after the passive auxiliary "is."
