Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

The word economy is a singular subject and must be followed by has been instead of have been as per the subject-verb agreement. This alternative also uses the correct present perfect tense, indicating an action that started in the past and has relevance to the present.

So, the correct sentence is: The Centre's bid to dispel the pall of gloom over the economy has been helped in recent weeks by a rating.
