Reference explanation:
Correct answer:
ANSWER
Knowledge of the Passive
Based on “£20 million” is an object that should have a passive meaning (to be transferred).
=> Because of the structure: “how + S + be Vp2: what was done how”
=> The whole noun clause “how… account” serves as the object of the verb “investigate”, so the verb “was unbelievably transferred” is conjugated as the main verb for “£20 million”, which cannot be understood as divide by abbreviated relational clause with subject “police” to use Vp2 => Fix error: unapproachable => was unbelievably transferred
The police are investigating how £20 million was illegally transferred out of the bank account.
