Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

It should be "medicine before has" since "has" agrees with the singular subject and not with the plural subject "medicines." Moreover, "medicine" refers to medical practices and "medicines" refers to drugs for treating the patient.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Modern medicine has scored significant victories against both infection and trauma, the major causes of ill health and death.
