(a) Board’s hopes to continuing talks on a future deal seem
This option correctly maintains subject-verb agreement, with "hopes" (plural) matching "seem" (plural). The phrase "Board’s hopes to continue talks on a future deal" indicates the intention or desire of the Boards to engage in ongoing discussions about a future deal. The verb "seem" agrees with the plural subject "hopes," indicating that the speaker finds the likelihood of the negotiations continuing increasingly improbable. The phrase "seem to be increasingly improbable" effectively conveys the speaker's assessment of the situation.
(b) Boards’ hopes to continued talks on a future deal seems
This option has a subject-verb agreement error. "Hopes" (plural) does not agree with "seems" (singular). Additionally, "continued" is the past tense form of the verb, which is incorrect in this context.
(c) Boards’ hopes on continued talks on a future deal seem
This option also has a subject-verb agreement error. "Hopes" (plural) does not agree with "seem" (singular). Additionally, the phrase "hopes on continued talks" is sunclear.
(d) Board’s hopes to continuing talks on a future deal seems
This option in incorrect as it contains a subject-verb agreement error. "Hopes" (plural) does not agree with "seems" (singular). “Hopes” should be followed by a plural verb i.e. “seem”.
