    Led by a team of scientists of Indian-origin, NASA's Curiosity rover has find new evidence of water on Mars.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is option 2 i.e. found new evidence of water on.

    Context: The sentence refers to a completed scientific discovery made by NASA’s Curiosity rover.

    Analysis of the given options:

    • finds new evidence of water at – Present tense and wrong preposition.

    • found new evidence of water on – Correct tense and correct preposition.

    • finding new evidence of water upon – Incorrect verb form and inappropriate preposition.

    Correct word/ phrase: found new evidence of water on

    Final sentence: Led by a team of scientists of Indian-origin, NASA's Curiosity rover found new evidence of water on Mars.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is option 3 i.e. creativity.
