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".
