Choose the word for blank (22) in the passage.
- had been
- have been
- has been
- None of the given options is correct
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - has been
“From time immemorial society has been male dominated”: the state began long ago and continues to the present, and the subject “society” is singular, so “has been”. “Have been” does not agree with a singular subject, and “had been” would place the state wholly in the past.
