Correct Answer: have
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
The phrase, as many as 25 swarms have entered Rajasthan, is describing an action that started in the past and continues up to the present. In English grammar, this is expressed using the present perfect tense, which is formed with have or has followed by the past participle of the verb. In this case, have entered is the correct form because "swarms" is plural.
Therefore, the complete sentence would be: "Since the first locust swarm invaded the state’s Sri Ganganagar district on April 11, as many as 25 swarms have entered Rajasthan."
