Key Points
The sentence talks about how 'Discovery of India' is a book written by Jawaharlal Nehru.
- As can be seen from the apostrophes before and after 'Discovery of India', it can be deduced that it is the title or name of something.
- The use of the preposition 'by' before 'Jawaharlal Nehru' implies that he is the agent carrying out the action in the sentence.
- Since there is only one title, it can be assumed that the item is singular.
- This means that the verb in the blank should also be singular.
- Thus, options 1 and 4 are eliminated because they have a plural verb 'have'.
- Option 2 is incorrect because the absence of the verb 'been' implies that 'Jawaharlal Nehru' is something that has been written by 'Discovery of India', and this not true. ( we need the passive form)
Hint
- The knowledge that 'Discovery of India' is a single book written by Jawaharlal Nehru would help the reader eliminate options implying a plural noun.
Thus, the correct answer is option 3.
