Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The sentence can be improved using the first option .

"Has proven" is the correct verb tense to use here, because it indicates a past action with present relevance. The advancement in medical science is still a boon in the present, so the present perfect tense "has proven" is appropriate. Moreover, the singular subject, the advancement in medical science agrees with the singular verb i.e., has .

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The advancement in medical science has proven to be a boon for all of us."
