MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

......... , the police arrested David.
Driving. carelessly
As he was driving carelessly
Answer explanation
When one action happens before another or to explain the cause of the second clause we can use the gerund to begin the sentence.
DRIVING CARELESSLY, the police arrested David.
AS HE WAS DRIVING CARELESSLY the police arrested David.
Notice that the second sentence is correct also however there is no comma. in the previous question there was one.

what
Answer explanation
WHAT CAN'T be used as an ordinary relative pronoun after a noun or pronoun.
eg.

To refer to a whole clause that comes before it, we use which, not what.
