In the following question, some part of the sentence is underlined. Which of the options given below the sentence should replace the part underlined to make the sentence grammatically correct?

[ alt="bulb (3)" src="//storage.googleapis.com/tb-img/production/20/08/bulb%20%283%29.png" style="width: 25px; height: 25px;">The concept is:

The structure is: Many + a + Singular Noun
Hence, noun after ‘Many a’ will be singular, so ‘soldier’ is appropriate to use, then by subject-verb agreement rule, ‘Many a soldier’ will take the singular verb ‘has’ with it. 

  • Let's see an example:
    • Many an accident has recently taken place.[ alt="right (1)" src="//storage.googleapis.com/tb-img/production/20/08/right%20%281%29.png" style="width: 20px; height: 20px;"> (An is the Indefinite article which represents singularity hence the singular verb is used.)
    • Many accidents have recently taken place. [ alt="right (1)" src="//storage.googleapis.com/tb-img/production/20/08/right%20%281%29.png" style="width: 20px; height: 20px;"> (In this sentence the indefinite article is not used and 'many' is used as a determiner hence the subject 'accidents' is plural i.e. why the plural verb is used.)

So the correct sentence is:
Many a soldier has fought for his country bravely.
