answer explanation: 

<p>Managers who have not submitted their <b>revised</b> quarterly reports need to attach them to an email and send them to Mr. Johnson by noon today.</p>

<p>The correct answer is <b>(B) revised</b>.</p>

<p>In this sentence, the word "revised" is used as an adjective to describe the type of quarterly reports that the managers need to submit. The verb form "revised" is used because it agrees with the plural noun "reports" and indicates that the reports have already been revised or edited before being submitted.</p>

<p>The other answer choices are not grammatically correct in this sentence:</p>

<p>(A) revise - This is the base form of the verb and does not agree with the plural noun "reports".</p>
<p>(C) revising - This is the present participle form of the verb and does not agree with the plural noun "reports".</p>
<p>(D) revision - This is a noun form and does not describe the type of quarterly reports that need to be submitted.</p>
