    Question

    Select the option that will improve the highlighted part of the given sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select 'No improvement required'.
    Most workers resigns to join new jobs within the same industry.

    A.

    resigned

    B.

    was resigning

    C.

    No improvement required

    D.

    has resigned

    Correct option is A

    The correct substitution of the highlighted word is (a) resigned.
    Explanation:
    · The verb resigns is incorrect here because the subject “Most workers” is plural, and the verb must agree with it in number.
    · Additionally, the sentence talks about a general trend in the past, so past tense (resigned) is appropriate.
    · Therefore, “Most workers resigned to join…” is the grammatically and contextually correct form.
    Grammatical rule used:
    · Subject-verb agreement: Plural subject → plural verb
    · Verb tense consistency: Past events are described using the past tense.
    Example:
    ❌ Most workers resigns after a few months.
    ✅ Most workers resigned after a few months.
