Answer»

The correct answer is option 3.

The word 'mention' is singular and therefore a plural word 'are' cannot be USED after it. It has to singular as well. Therefore, the singular form of the word 'are', i.e., 'is' should be used in the SENTENCE.

This eliminates option 1 and option 4 as both of them use 'are'.

Option 2 is eliminated because it conveys a different meaning than the actual sentence. The sentence conveys that the 'companies' are 'PARTLY GOVERNMENT' and 'partly privately owned' whereas the actual sentence conveys that the 'companies' are 'partly government owned' and 'partly privately owned'

Option 5 is rejected because the structure of the sentence is grammatically incorrect.

This leaves us with option 3 to be the only correct answer.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3, i.e., 'No mention is made of companies that are partly owned and partly privately owned.'
