Question
In each of the following sentences, a part is highlighted. Choose the best alternative that improves the sentence grammatically and contextually. If no improvement is required, choose option (D). The recent economic reforms, along with the structural adjustments in fiscal policies, has significantly altered the trajectory of growth in emerging markets.
Solution
Subject = “The recent economic reforms” (plural) Phrase “along with…” is parenthetical → does NOT affect subject-verb agreement So verb must be plural → have, not “has” Thus original sentence is actually incorrect. Correct sentence: → have significantly altered… Option analysis: A → correct B → wrong tense form C → incorrect structure D → incorrect (since sentence has error) Hence correct answer → A
