The slowdown has led to a sharp fall in demand for petrol and diesel as the tenacity of the lockdown imposed and when it will be lifted is still unclear. Correct Answer No improvement
The correct answer is option 4) i.e., no improvement .
- Since ‘slowdown’ is a singular noun, has and not have should be followed. Also, is is used for simple tenses and has is used for present perfect.
- The verb ‘lead’ is used in past participle form – ‘led’ which hints at the correct use of ‘has’: has + V3 (verb in past participle).
- Examples: has eaten, has cooked, has forgotten.
- The context of the statement is in the present. So the use of has seems correct.
Hence, the sentence needs no improvement.
