Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
Explanation : There is an error in the subject-verb agreement in the sentence. The verb need should be replaced with needs to convey the intended meaning that the government should adopt a multi-year expenditure outlook when preparing the budget.
In this sentence, the subject government is singular, and thus, the correct verb form to be used should also be singular, which is needs as per simple present tense.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "The government needs to adopt a multi-year expenditure outlook while preparing the budget."
