The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that everybody in the world has certain fundamental rights such as freedom of expression, equal protection under law, and equal pay for equal work.
Explanation:
In the passage "everybody in the world have certain fundamental rights," we have a subject-verb agreement problem. <u>The subject of this clause is "everybody". Even though the word "everybody" conveys the idea of there being several people included, the word itself is singular. Therefore, the verb referring to it should also be in its singular form. That is why the use of "have" is incorrect. In its place, we should use "has", the simple present third-person form of the verb. Thus, the correct clause would be "everybody int he world has certain fundamental rights."</u>
