    Question

    Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
    "The bridge that connect the two sides of the city broke today."

    A.

    that have been connecting

    B.

    that connects

    C.

    that have connect

    D.

    that has connect

    Correct option is B


    Explanation of the Correct Answer: · The subject "The bridge" is singular, so the verb must be "connects", not "connect".
    · Option (b) "that connects" is correct because "connects" agrees with the singular subject "bridge."
    Why Are the Other Options Incorrect? · (a) "that have been connecting" → Incorrect; "have" is used for plural subjects, but "bridge" is singular.
    · (c) "that have connect" → Incorrect; "have" should be followed by "connected" (past participle), but "connect" is incorrect.
    · (d) "that has connect" → Incorrect; "has" should be followed by "connected" (past participle), but "connect" is incorrect.
    Thus, the correct sentence is:
    "The bridge that connects the two sides of the city broke today."
