    Solution

    Here, ‘hopping’ is incorrect. Hopping is the past participle of ‘hop’, which means ‘to jump on one foot or to move about in this way’. The correct verb is ‘hoping’, which means ‘wanting something to be true’. The management is hoping that employees will inspire each other to cycle to work.
