Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the second option.
The phrase, are being seen is grammatically correct but may not be the most appropriate choice of words contextually. To convey that a high number of flu cases are occurring or being reported this year, it's more precise to use the phrase being witnessed.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "A surprisingly high number of cases of the flu are being witnessed this year."
