Many a women work for the betterment of their family.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Many a woman works for.
The phrase 'many a' is always followed by a singular noun and takes a singular verb.
'Women' is the plural form of 'woman.' Since 'many a' requires a singular noun, 'women' is incorrect in this context. The correct singular noun is 'woman'.
Because 'many a' is singular, the verb should also be singular i.e it should be 'works'.
Hence, the correct sentence is:- Many a woman works for the betterment of their family.
