Correct Answer: 1
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
- The phrase is being seeping , should be replaced with is seeping to convey the intended meaning that gas is leaking out of the rocks.
- Is being seeping is grammatically incorrect. Is seeping uses the present continuous tense, which is appropriate for describing the ongoing action. Moreover, seeping is an intransitive verb and does not need a direct object.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "The gas is seeping out of the rocks."
