Sri Lanka ……. its task cut out and should devise plans
Explanation:
- The sentence discusses current circumstances in Sri Lanka regarding the presence of terrorists and the need for plans to eliminate terrorism.
- It suggests that Sri Lanka is facing challenges ("has its task cut out") and needs to actively devise strategies.
- Option 1, "have," suggests a plural subject, which doesn't fit as well with the singular subject "Sri Lanka."
- Option 2, "had," implies a past scenario, which conflicts with the current context.
- Option 3, "has," ? fits well, indicating the present responsibility and ongoing situation.
- Option 4, "will," implies future action that doesn't align with the current urgency expressed.
