Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

A plural noun should be followed by a plural verb as per the subject-verb agreement. The word "people" is a plural noun, so it should be paired with the plural verb "are", not "is".

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Today, people are ignorant of the things that are happening around them.
