Choose the best alternative from among the four.

Many of these environmentalists proclaim to save nothing less than the planet itself.

Choose the correct answer:

Explanation

Solution

Correct Answer: (b) that they are saving nothing less than

Solving Steps:

Verb Usage: The verb "proclaim" is usually followed by a "that" clause rather than an infinitive ("to save") when describing a claim or ongoing action.
Context/Tense: Since environmentalists are currently making this claim about their ongoing efforts, the continuous form "are saving" is more appropriate than the simple present "save."
Fixed Phrase: "Nothing less than" is the correct idiomatic expression used for emphasis; "nothing lesser than" in option (a) is incorrect.
Logic: Option (d) uses "to have saved" (past), which implies the saving is already finished, which doesn't fit the context of the sentence.
