In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative which will improve the bracketed part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select "no improvement".   Learning (include) discovery, insight, understanding as well as accumulation of information.  ?

Option 1 : Includes

The correct answer is- 'Includes'

• Using 'includes' in the place of 'include' to make the sentence correct.
• We know that 'learning' is the singular subject so that it will be followed by the singular verb. In the present indefinite tense verb will come with 's/es'. So that replaces 'includes' instead of 'include'.
• Structure of Present Indefinite:- Sub + V₁ + s/es + object
  • Example: Ram goes to the market.

The correct sentence is- Learning includes discovery, insight, understanding as well as accumulation of information.
