• B. The criterion for selection have been revised.
• C. The criterion for selection has been revised.
• D. The criteria for selection is revised because it are outdated.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. The criterion for selection has been revised.

• Criterion is the singular form, whereas criteria is the plural form.

• A singular subject takes a singular verb. Therefore, criterion + has is grammatically correct.

• Has been revised is in the present perfect passive voice, formed using has + been + past participle.

• The sentence means that the standard or rule used for selection has been updated.
