Question

yo yo ma is a grammy award - winning cellist with an extensive body of work: he _____over 90 albums spanning multiple genres throughout his career.
which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of standard english?
choose 1 answer:
a has released
b have released
c release
d are releasing

Explanation:

• Subject - verb agreement: The subject "he" is third - person singular.
• Option B ("have released") uses "have" which is for first - person plural (we), second - person (you), and third - person plural (they), so it is incorrect.
• Option C ("release") is the base form of the verb and does not agree with the third - person singular subject "he".
• Option D ("are releasing") uses "are" which is for plural subjects, so it is incorrect.
• Tense: The present perfect tense ("has released") is appropriate here as it indicates an action that started in the past (throughout his career) and has a connection to the present (he is a Grammy - award winning cellist with an extensive body of work).

Answer:

A. has released
