Correct Answer: have decided


Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

"Have decided" is the correct substitution, as the subject pronoun "I" always takes the plural form of the verb according to the subject-verb agreement. It uses the present perfect tense, indicating a decision made in the past that remains relevant in the present. This makes the sentence grammatically accurate and conveys the intended meaning of the speaker deciding to purchase a globe as a birthday gift.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: I have decided to buy a globe for your birthday.
