In the following passage, some of the words have been left out. Read the passage carefully and select the correct answer for the given blank out of the four alternatives.
Environment which to a great extent ______ our priorities.
Modifies
The blank needs a verb whose subject is the singular noun "Environment" and that conveys altering/shaping priorities. Modifies means to change or alter — "environment... modifies our priorities" agrees in number and fits the sense.
"Questions" (verb) is weaker and unidiomatic here; "clarify" and "petrify" would also need the singular -s, and "petrify" (turn to stone/terrify) is meaningless with priorities.
