In the question below choose the word(s) or phrase(s) which best fill(s) the gap:

We are not surprised he was not elected; every one of his constituents _____ that he is unreliable

Answer Details

The sentence is in the past tense, which means that the correct verb form to use is the past tense. The subject "every one of his constituents" is singular, so the correct verb form to use is "knows." Therefore, the correct option to fill the gap is "knows." The complete sentence would be: "We are not surprised he was not elected; every one of his constituents knows that he is unreliable."
