Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.
The bridge that connect the two sides of the city broke today.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. that connects.
The subject “bridge” is singular, so the verb must also be singular.
“Connects” is the singular present tense form that agrees with “bridge.”
Option 1 (“that has connect”) is incorrect because “connect” should be “connected” if using “has.”
Option 2 (“that have connect”) is incorrect because “have” is plural and “connect” should be “connected.”
Option 3 (“that have been connecting”) is plural and continuous tense, which is not suitable here.
