Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

I inherit all that humanity __________ during tens of thousands of years and to all that it has thought, felt and suffered.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. has achieved.

Here we have a time expression i.e. "during tens of thousands of years" that defines a particular period of time up to now.

So we should use the present perfect tense here.

Now, The subject (humanity) is Singular, so the verb will be singular as well.

Thus, "has achieved" is appropriate for the blank.

The correct sentence will be: I inherit all that humanity has achieved during tens of thousands of years and to all that it has thought, felt and suffered.
