Choose the answer which best rewords the italicized portion. If you think the original wording is best, choose option A.

The population grow each year at a rate of about 2.05 percent.
  1. The population grow
  2. The population grew
  3. The population grows
  4. The population has grown
Explanation
Answer: D - The best choice is “The population has grown each”

The verb “grow” does not agree with the subject “population.” The past tense form “verb” implies that population growth has stopped. Using the present perfect tense - “has grown” - indicates that an event has happened in the past and is not complete. The population grew in the past and continues to grow.
