Correct Answer: have never come


Solution : The third option is correct.

The subject of the sentence is "Mr. Ramesh and his friends", and when using a compound subject connected by "and", the verb should agree with the entire subject. In this case, the plural subject "Mr. Ramesh and his friends", requires the plural verb "have" instead of "has". So, the correction is to use "have" instead of "has" to ensure subject-verb agreement.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Mr. Ramesh and his friends have never come here .
