Question and options
Fill in the blank by choosing the correct alternative.
The North-East Region of India, consisting of the seven sister states __________ unable to keep pace with the growth happening in the rest of the country.
- should have been
- have so far been
- have thus
- has been
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - has been
The subject is 'The North-East Region' (singular), so 'has been unable to keep pace' is correct. 'Have' options do not agree with the singular subject, and 'should have been' changes the meaning.
