Hi. I’ve found the above sentence on the above site.
I don’t think this sentence correct. I don’t see why the part “... than has been suggested" would work. Since there’s no subject between “than” and “has”, we cannot decide which word to choose between “has” and “have”. I would just say “There are fewer very serious cases than suggested". Does it make sense?
What do you think?
Thank you.Top answer
