Question

Which of the phrases given below the sentence should replace the word/phrase given in underline in the sentence to make it grammatically correct? If the sentence is correct as it is given and no correction is required, select 'No correction required' as the answer.
Innovation have always been the top corporate agenda.

• A. Has always
• B. Had being
• C. Has always been
• D. Always been
• E. No correction required.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Has always been

'Innovation' is a singular subject. So, it is to be followed by a singular verb. So, we should use 'has' in place of 'have'.
Eg: He has always helped me.
