correct answer : b)
Explanation:
The subject of the sentence is ‘The report’s focus’, which is singular. Therefore, the singular verb ‘ignores’ must be used instead of the plural verb ‘ignore’ in part (2).
इस वाक्य का मुख्य कर्ता (subject) ‘The report’s focus’ एकवचन (singular) है। इसलिए इसके साथ क्रिया भी एकवचन होनी चाहिए। ‘ignore’ के स्थान पर ‘ignores’ का प्रयोग होगा।
