Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answear is Option D i.e Neither of the political parties has had much.
- The underlined part of the sentence "Neither of the political parties have had much interest in environmental causes" contains a subject-verb agreement error.
- The subject "neither" is singular, but the verb "have" is plural.
- The verb "has" is singular and matches the singular subject "neither."
- Therefore, the correct option to improve the underlined part of the sentence is to replace "have" with "has".
The corrected sentence is:
"Neither of the political parties has had much interest in environmental causes."
