The number of applicants for bank jobs ... in the recent years.

A have increased

B has increased

C were increased

D increase rapidly

Solution

Correct Answer: Option B

- বাক্যের মূল subject হলো The number, যা একক (singular) ধারণা; তাই verb ওটি অনুযায়ী singular হবে।
 "The number of + plural noun" যেমন "The number of applicants", তখন verb singular হবে: "has increased"।
-"A number of + plural noun" হলে তা অর্থাৎ many people বোঝায় এবং verb plural হবে: "have increased" (অর্থাৎ "A number of applicants have applied" ধরনের)।
