Correct Answer: of student


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation : In this case, "a large number of" doesn't change the fact that the subject is plural as it refers to multiple students. Therefore, the correct verb form should agree with the plural noun "students", requiring the plural verb "have". The correction ensures that the subject-verb agreement is accurate in the sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "A large number of students have participated in this music video."
