The verb in the indicative mood can be found in Sentence 20: "The Grand Canyon is visited by almost five million people each year."
The indicative mood is used to make factual statements, and in this case, the sentence states a fact about the number of visitors to the Grand Canyon.
Therefore, the correct answer is not listed but if choosing from your options, Sentence 22 ("If I had the chance, I'd go.") contains "had" and "would," which are not indicative but conditional.
If you need to identify only the provided sentences, Sentence 20 would be the best option that matches the query about the indicative mood, as it contains a factual statement.

The best way to edit the issues with verb voice and mood in these sentences is:
"An hour after Sheila placed the lasagna in the oven, we smelled a tantalizing aroma and our stomachs began to growl. 'Take it out of the oven, and then you should cut everybody a slice,' Cynthia said to Sheila."
This choice eliminates the passive construction "a tantalizing aroma was smelled," which makes the sentence clearer and gives it an active voice. Additionally, it keeps the verbs in a consistent and appropriate mood.

Question
Read the following paragraph.
As he left the game store with the newly released video game he had been anticipating for months, James was exhilarated to get home. He made sure nothing stopped him while he was rushing home. He ran upstairs after he frantically entered the house. He stumbled over his brother's skateboard that was recklessly placed on the stairs, but made sure the video game was safe. After entering his room, he immediately approached his video game system. When James turned it on, he entered the video game and an ear–splitting noise was heard. His heart sank because he knew something was wrong with his video game system. (Illuminate)

The best way to edit the underlined sentence to correct the verb voice error is:
"When James turned it on, he entered the video game and he heard an ear–splitting noise."
This option uses the active voice for the verb, which makes the sentence clearer and more direct by stating that James heard the noise. The previous version ("an ear–splitting noise was heard") employs passive voice, which is less engaging in this context.
