Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation: The subject 'assignment' is singular, so it requires a singular verb. Also, the phrase should use the singular form 'one fourth' (not 'one fourths').
Subject-verb agreement: 'assignment' (singular) → use 'is', not 'are' or 'have'.
Use the correct quantifier form: 'one fourth' (singular), not 'one fourths'.
Avoid conditional phrasing like 'would be' unless you mean a hypothetical; here the present simple 'is complete' states the current fact.
Alternative correct phrasing if you want perfect aspect: 'One fourth of the assignment has been completed.'
Correct full sentence: Only one fourth of the assignment is complete.
