Correct Answer :

Option A

India’s journey in the last years provide learning on sustaining growth in production.

Solution :

Correct Answer: India’s journey in the last years provide learning on sustaining growth in production.


Explanation:

Let's analyze the grammatical structure of the highlighted sentence:

Subject: "India’s journey" (singular subject)

Verb: "provide" (plural verb)


According to the rules of subject-verb agreement, a singular subject requires a singular verb. Since the subject "India’s journey" is singular, the verb used should be singular ("provides") instead of plural ("provide").


Corrected Sentence:
"India’s journey in the last years provides learning on sustaining growth in production."


All other given options are grammatically correct:

• "The bank has added many more branches throughout the country." — Correct subject-verb agreement and prepositional usage.

• "Our planet is approaching tipping points that will make climate chaos irreversible." — Correct tense and clause structure.

• "Global energy poverty is concentrated in the developing countries." — Correct sentence structure and preposition usage.
