You face or are faced?
Hi everbody,
Following question is from Cambridge TOEFL. Today's sailors __________ many of the same dangers as their predecessors. A-is facing B-face C-are faced D-face I chose C in practice exam but the answer is B. But, why? What is the difference between "C" and "D"? |

"A" is wrong because it should be plural. "C" should be "are faced WITH" - that is, you must have a preposition to connect the sentence parts. The answer is truly "B", but I can't see a difference between "B" and "D". Perhaps someone misspelled the wrong answer?
