Correct Answer: not take place


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation : The error lies in the verb-tense agreement. The sentence uses has not (present perfect tense), but it pairs itself incorrectly with take instead of the past participle taken . In the present perfect tense, the verb take should be in its past participle form, which is taken .

Therefore, the correct sentence is: A long-hoped-for revival in private investment has not taken place .
