Question

one of the major issues carter has focused on throughout his career is peace in the middle east. he (6)questioned a national energy policy designed to reduce american dependence long before it was popular to do so (7)on foreign oil and brokered a peace treaty between israel and egypt. likewise, he was among the first to insist publicly on basic human rights for everyone around the (8)world, founding a non - profit organization, the carter center, to work toward that end. in his opinion this includes extending modern health care to developing nations in order to contain disease and improve quality of life around the (9)world, in many different countries. which of the following alternatives to the underlined portion (8) would not be acceptable? world, and he found world, and he founded world, so he founded world and founded

Explanation:

The original sentence has a compound - verb structure where "insist" and "founding" are related to the subject "he". The correct form should maintain parallelism. "Found" is the base form of the verb and is incorrect in this context as it does not match the past - tense form of "insist" (insisted). The other options ("and he founded", "so he founded", "and founded") all use the past - tense form "founded" which is correct.

Answer:

world, and he found
