Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option to be filled in the blank is 1️⃣ has

The dog has a long tail.

Explanation:

• A singular subject always requires a singular verb, and a plural subject requires a plural verb.

• When there is a lot of text between the subject and the verb, it’s easy to lose track of which words need to agree.

• When we need to determine what the subject is, it’s often helpful to ask who or what is “doing” the action of the verb.

• It’s then possible for the word there to stand in as a grammatical subject, as in sentences such as The dog has a long tail. or There is a pie on the table.

• In this type of construction, the verb is controlled not by the word the or there but by the logical subject of the clause, which usually comes right after the verb.

• This is called the subject-verb agreement where the subject and the verb should match with each other in their number.

• Since in the sentence, the 'subject dog' is single in number, the singular verb 'has' fits well in this context.

Hence '1️⃣ has' is the most appropriate answer.
