Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: is
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
Many a man is an idiomatic expression that means a lot of men, but it is followed by a singular verb, and the whole clause is treated as singular. Hence, to maintain the subject-verb agreement "is" is the appropriate choice.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "Many a man is imprisoned without trial in fascist countries".
