Answer:
Ever since the new mayor has been appointed, law and order has been improving.
We have to place the correct helping verb as per the context of this sentence.
Explanation:
- As we know, the phrase 'ever since' is generally used in present perfect continuous tense because present perfect shows that something that happened in the past has a great effect in the present.
- Example: He has been painting since 2005.
- Moreover, 'law and order' is an uncountable noun or we can say that it is a compound singular noun. Thus, plural helping verb would not be applied with it.
- That is why, we should apply singular helping verb of present perfect tense 'has been' in this sentence.
Hence, the complete sentence is: Ever since the new mayor has been appointed, law and order has been improving.
