Correct Answer: have been given a pair


Solution : The correct option is the third option.

Explanation: The subject in the sentence is "newly admitted students" which is a plural noun phrase. The verb "has been" in the original sentence is singular and does not agree with the plural subject. The correct form should be the plural form of the verb, which is "have been". This ensures proper subject-verb agreement.

So, the correct sentence would be: "The newly admitted students have been given a pair of uniforms by the management."
