Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

The majority ______ that the country can progress under able leadership.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. believes.

  1. As the subject is singular "the majority" we need to use a singular verb.
  2. As the verb "believe" is a static verb we can not make continuous of it.
  3. Now we have only the chosen option in the singular form so it will be correct.

The correct sentence will be-

The majority believes that the country can progress under able leadership.
