The Correct Option is B

Approach Solution - 1

The key to this sentence is treating "management" consistently as one thing throughout, since a collective noun like this can be singular or plural depending on how the sentence uses it, but it has to stay the same choice all the way through.

Here, the sentence later uses "it," a singular pronoun, to refer back to "management." That choice means the first verb has to match: "has promised," not "have promised," since a mix of singular and plural forms for the same noun reads as inconsistent.

The second thing to check is the verb right after "will." An auxiliary like "will" is always followed by the base form of the verb, so it must be "will consider," never "will considered."

Checking every option against these two consistency points, the only version that keeps "management" singular throughout and uses "consider" in its base form is the one with "has promised... it will consider."

So, the correct answer is The management has promised that it will consider my appeal.

Approach Solution -2

Saying these four sentences aloud, one right after another, makes it easy to hear where each one stumbles.

  1. Option A: "The management have promised that it will consider my appeal." Read aloud, "management have" itself sounds fine on its own, since collective nouns can go either way, but the moment "it" shows up later in the same sentence, the ear notices a mismatch, as if the sentence changed its mind partway through about whether "management" is one thing or many.
  2. Option C: "The management has promise that they will consider my appeal." Spoken aloud, "has promise" sounds incomplete right away, like the ending of the word got cut off mid-sentence. Then "they" shows up later, which again does not sit well with the singular "has" heard moments earlier.
  3. Option D: "The management has promised that it will considered my appeal." This one flows fine until the very last word, where "will considered" sounds noticeably clumsy to the ear, since "will" is normally followed by a plain, unmarked verb.
  4. Option B: "The management has promised that it will consider my appeal." Read start to finish, nothing catches the ear here: "has" stays consistent with "it," "promised" is complete, and "will consider" sounds natural.

The stumble is different in each of the other three readings, but the fourth sentence reads cleanly all the way through.

So, the correct answer is The management has promised that it will consider my appeal.

Passage (extract): The work which Gandhiji had taken up was not only regarding the achievement of political freedom but also the establishment of a new social order based on truth and non-violence, unity and peace, equality and universal brotherhood and maximum freedom for all. A new order cannot be established without radically changing the mind and attitude of men towards property and, at some stage or the other, the 'haves' have to yield place to the 'have-nots'. We have seen, in our time, attempts to achieve a kind of egalitarian society and the picture of it after it was achieved. But this was done, by and large, through the use of physical force. It may even be that, like a gas kept confined within containers under great pressure, or water held back by a big dam, once the barrier breaks, the reaction will one day sweep back with a violence equal in extent and intensity to what was used to establish and maintain the outward egalitarian form. This enforced egalitarianism contains, in its bosom, the seed of its own destruction. If egalitarianism is to endure, it has to be based not on the possession of the maximum material goods by a few or by all but on voluntary, enlightened renunciation of those goods which cannot be shared by others or can be enjoyed only at the expense of others.

According to the passage, egalitarianism will not survive if

Passage (extract): The work which Gandhiji had taken up was not only regarding the achievement of political freedom but also the establishment of a new social order based on truth and non-violence, unity and peace, equality and universal brotherhood and maximum freedom for all. This unfinished part of his experiment was perhaps even more difficult to achieve than the achievement of political freedom. In the political struggle, the fight was against a foreign power and all one could do was either join it or wish it success and give it his/her moral support. In establishing a social order on this pattern, there was a strong possibility of a conflict arising between diverse groups and classes of our own people.

Passage (extract): In the political struggle, the fight was against a foreign power and all one could do was either join it or wish it success and give it his/her moral support. Experience shows that man values his possessions even more than his life because in the former he sees the means for perpetuation and survival of his descendants even after his body is reduced to ashes. We have seen, in our time, attempts to achieve a kind of egalitarian society and the picture of it after it was achieved. But this was done, by and large, through the use of physical force. This enforced egalitarianism contains, in its bosom, the seed of its own destruction. The root cause of class conflict is possessiveness or the acquisitive instinct.
