The correct answer is 'has'. 

Key Points

  • The most appropriate answer for the given fill in blank is 'has'. 
  • 'Each, every, everyone, someone, somebody, nobody, none, one, any, many a, more than one' are singular in meaning.
  • Therefore, after them 'singular verb, singular noun, singular adjective, and a singular pronoun' is used. 
    • Example: 
      • Each student have come.false (2) 
      • Each student has come.right (1) 
  • ​​Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.

Thus, the complete sentence is: Everyone in the family has been questioned about the theft. 

  

  • We tend to mark Option 4 but it would be wrong because 'been' is not with helping verb 'is'. 
  • Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.
