# --questions--

## --text--

Which option uses the correct verb to complete the sentence?

## --answers--

`El departamento de ingeniería desarrollan el software.`

### --feedback--

`Desarrollan` is the form for `ellos/ellas`, but `el departamento` is singular.

---

`El departamento de ingeniería desarrollar el software.`

### --feedback--

`Desarrollar` is the infinitive form, so it does not complete the sentence correctly here.

---

`El departamento de ingeniería desarrolla el software.`

---

`El departamento de ingeniería desarrollas el software.`

### --feedback--

`Desarrollas` is the verb form for `tú`, not for `el departamento`.

## --video-solution--

3

# --explanation--

The correct answer is `El departamento de ingeniería desarrolla el software`, which means "the department of engineering develops the software".

The subject `el departamento` is singular, so it needs the singular verb form `desarrolla` ("develops").
