Answer

D

Step-by-step solution

3 steps

To fill in the gaps, we need to apply the rules of subject-verb agreement (concord).

The sentence is: "One of the ladies who .... in the premises .... been asked to withdraw."

  1. Determine the verb for the first gap.

    The first gap is part of the relative clause "who .... in the premises". The relative pronoun "who" refers to "ladies". Since "ladies" is plural, the verb that follows "who" must also be plural.

    • "sells" is a singular verb.
    • "sell" is a plural verb. Therefore, the first gap should be "sell". This eliminates options A and C.
  2. Determine the verb for the second gap.

    The second gap is the main verb of the sentence. The main subject of the sentence is "One" (from "One of the ladies"). "One" is a singular subject. The verb must agree with "One".

    • "have" is a plural verb.
    • "has" is a singular verb. Therefore, the second gap should be "has".
  3. Combine the correct verbs.

    The first gap is "sell" and the second gap is "has". This matches option D.

    The complete sentence is: "One of the ladies who sell in the premises has been asked to withdraw."

    The correct option is D.

    The answer is D. sell/has\boxed{\text{D. sell/has}}.
