Question

Select the most appropriate option to substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence.
If a person tests positive for Covid-19, he have to isolate himself immediately so that he does not infect others.

A.

he must have to isolate

B.

he isolated himself

C.

he has to isolate himself

D.

No substitution required

Correct option is C

The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (c) he has to isolate himself.
Explanation:
The subject “he” is third-person singular, so the verb must agree in form.
· “have to” is used with I/you/we/they
· “has to” is used with he/she/it
Thus, the grammatically correct form is:
he has to isolate himself
Grammatical Rule Used:
Subject-Verb Agreement Rule: The verb must agree in number and person with the subject.
· He has to leave now.
· They have to leave now.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
· (a) “must have to isolate” – Redundant; "must" and "have to" both express obligation.
· (b) “he isolated himself” – Incorrect tense; does not fit conditional structure.
· (d) No substitution required – Wrong because “he have” is grammatically incorrect.
Corrected Sentence:
If a person tests positive for Covid-19, he has to isolate himself immediately so that he does not infect others.
This correction ensures proper verb agreement and clarity.
