No substitution

The herd has grazing

The herd is grazing

The herd is grazed

- The original sentence uses "are grazing," which is incorrect because "herd" is a collective noun treated as singular.

- Option 1: No substitution - Incorrect, since a substitution is necessary.

- Option 2: "The herd has grazing" - Incorrect. "Has grazing" is not grammatically correct in this context.

- Option 3: The herd is grazing - Correct. "Is grazing" properly matches the singular subject "herd."

- Option 4: "The herd is grazed" - Incorrect. "Is grazed" is passive and suggests an action done to the herd, not by the herd.
