Question

Bengali author Toru Dutt&rsquo;s A Sheaf Gleaned in French Fields (1876), a volume of English translations of French poems, ______ blank scholars&rsquo; understanding of the transnational and multilingual contexts in which Dutt lived and worked. Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?

Accepted Answer

Choice A is the best answer. The convention being tested is subject-verb agreement. The singular verb &ldquo;has enhanced&rdquo; agrees in number with the singular subject &ldquo; A Sheaf Gleaned in French Fields, &rdquo; which is the title of a book of poems. Choice B is incorrect because the plural verb &ldquo;are enhancing&rdquo; doesn&rsquo;t agree in number with the singular subject &ldquo; A Sheaf Gleaned in French Fields .&rdquo; Choice C is incorrect because the plural verb &ldquo;have enhanced&rdquo; doesn&rsquo;t agree in number with the singular subject &ldquo; A Sheaf Gleaned in French Fields .&rdquo; Choice D is incorrect because the plural verb &ldquo;enhance&rdquo; doesn&rsquo;t agree in number with the singular subject &ldquo; A Sheaf Gleaned in French Fields .&rdquo;
