Question

In the following sentence, identify the incorrect phrase in bold. If the sentence is correct, choose 'No replacement required'.

Remote work **has remained a** popular model among employees.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The sentence is: _Remote work has remained a popular model among employees._

2. The phrase in bold is _has remained_. This is the present perfect tense, which is correctly used here to indicate an action or state that started in the past and continues to the present.

3. Let's analyze the options:
   - (a) _has been remain_ is grammatically incorrect because 'remain' should be in past participle form 'remained' after 'has been'.
   - (b) _have been remained_ is incorrect because 'remained' is not used in passive form here and 'have' does not agree with singular subject 'Remote work'.
   - (c) _have remain_ is incorrect because 'have' requires past participle 'remained'.
   - (d) _had been remaining_ is past perfect continuous tense, which changes the meaning and is not appropriate here.

4. Since the original sentence is grammatically correct and the tense usage is appropriate, no replacement is needed.

**Answer:** No replacement required
