In the question below, choose the expression or word which best completes each sentence:

We hold that the nation, both in its public and private sectors .... the best consultancy service and advice in all its endeavours

  • A deserve
  • B deserving
  • C deserves
  • D are deserving
  • E richly deserve
jamb 1983english-language

The correct answer is C. deserves

In the given sentence, the word that best completes it is "deserves. "

This is because the subject "the nation" is singular, so it requires a singular verb form.

The correct form is "deserves," which agrees with the singular subject.

The other options, such as "deserve," "deserving," "are deserving," and "richly deserve," do not match the subject-verb agreement in this sentence.
