Fill in the blank the help of given options.
Today, the need of common man ____ just bread and butter.

Correct option is D

The correct option to fill in the blank is (d) is.
Explanation: The subject of the sentence is “the need”, which is singular, even though it is followed by a plural object (“of common man”). Therefore, the verb must also be singular — is.
Grammatical rule used: The verb must agree with the main subject, not the object of the preposition. Here, need is singular, so is is correct.
ग्रैमेटिकल नियम का हिंदी में स्पष्टीकरण: क्रिया हमेशा मुख्य कर्ता (subject) के अनुसार लगाई जाती है, न कि preposition के बाद आने वाले शब्द के अनुसार। यहाँ “need” एकवचन है, इसलिए “is” सही क्रिया है।
Example:
· The color of these curtains is beautiful.
Meanings of the other options: · (a) are: Plural verb, incorrect as “need” is singular. · (b) was: Past tense, incorrect because the sentence refers to today. · (c) were: Plural past form, incorrect in tense and number.
