Choose the word for blank (25) in the passage.
- have
- had
- has
- his
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - have
The subject “men and women” is plural, so it takes “have”, not “has”. Although “recognised” is in the past tense, equal rights are stated as a continuing truth, which keeps the present tense “have” rather than “had”. “His” is a pronoun and cannot serve as the verb.
