Correct Answer: has a broken


Solution : The third option is the correct choice.

According to the subject-verb agreement, when the subject is singular, the verb should also be in the singular form. In the original sentence, the third stair is a singular subject, so the correct verb form is " has" instead of have.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Watch your step—the third stair has a broken tread."
