Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. yearns.
The subject of the relative clause "who yearn" is "who," which refers to "Chotu" i.e. a singular noun.
The verb "yearn" is in the plural form, but since the subject is singular, the verb must also be singular "yearns" to maintain subject-verb agreement.
Hence, the correct sentence is- Chotu is a bright young child, who yearns to go to school but works in his uncle’s dhaba.
