In context, which is the best version of the under-
lined portion of sentence 7 (reproduced below)?

They cause riots, and innocent football fans are
sometimes injured by them when football-related
fights get out of control.

(As it is now)
They caused riots and innocent football fans
were sometimes injured by them
Causing riots and injuring innocent football
fans, the hooligans caused problems
The hooligans cause riots and sometimes
injure innocent football fans
Innocent football fans sometimes cause riots
and are injured

Explanation

Sentence 7 introduces the ambiguous pronoun they and uses the passive voice. The corrected version correctly substitutes the hooligans for they and uses the present tense.
