स्पष्टीकरण:
Notional Concord with Collective Nouns (भाववाचक / अर्थनिष्ठ सुसंगती):
व्याकरणाचा नियम:
१.
व्याकरणात्मक सुसंगती (Grammatical Concord):
•
बाह्य स्वरूपावरून 'The committee' हे एकवचनी नाम मानून त्याला एकवचनी क्रियापद ('has') लावले जाते.
२.
अर्थनिष्ठ सुसंगती (Notional Concord):
•
जेव्हा समूहातील व्यक्तींचा स्वतंत्र विचार किंवा अर्थ मनामध्ये अभिप्रेत असतो (Agreement according to the idea/meaning of plurality), तेव्हा त्याला Notional Concord म्हणतात.
•
Notional Concord नुसार Collective Noun ला अनेकवचनी क्रियापद लागते:
•
'have considered' (येथे समितीच्या सदस्यांनी मिळून विचार केला हा भाव आहे).
३.
प्रश्नात स्पष्टपणे 'in notional concord' असे विचारलेले असल्याने 'have' हे अनेकवचनी रूप अचूक ठरते.
पर्याय (४) हे अचूक उत्तर आहे.

English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:
Correct Answer: Option (4) (d) only
Explanation:
The question tests the linguistic distinction between grammatical concord and notional concord with collective nouns.
Detailed Analysis:
1.
Definition of Notional Concord:
•
Agreement of a verb with its subject according to the idea or meaning (notion) rather than strict grammatical form.
•
While grammatical concord treats 'committee' as a singular collective body (*has*), notional concord perceives the committee as a plural group of distinct individuals acting collectively.
2.
Under notional concord, the collective subject takes the plural auxiliary verb have:
•
*"The committee have considered your request."*
3.
Since the prompt explicitly asks for the verb agreeing in notional concord, (d) have is the precise answer.
Hence, Option (4) is correct.
