The police are tried hard for tracking up the robbers.

a) Trying hard to track up

b) Trying hard to track down

c) Tried hard to track in

d) Tried hard for tracking down

e) No correction required

Answer: (b)

The use of ‘are’ before the phrase given in bold suggests, that the police are doing something presently. This means the sentence should be in present continuous tense.

Hence the verb should be ‘trying’ not ‘tried’. ‘Trying’ is written in only in options (a) and (c). Hence options (b) and (d) are ruled out. Now, the phrase ‘track up’ is also incorrect. Correct phrase is ‘track down’ which means ‘to find by searching’.

This phrase in correctly written in option (a). Therefore (a) is correct.
