Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
Explanation : The subject and verb in a sentence must agree in number. The subject of the sentence is "An increase in crimes against women", which is a singular entity despite the plural word "crimes". The verb "have been reported" is in the plural form, which is incorrect because it does not agree with the singular subject.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "An increase in crimes against women has been reported in the newspapers recently."
