answer explanation:
<p>The correct answer is (B) takes.<br></p><div data-answer="b"><span>The subject of the sentence is "Half of our workforce," which is a collective noun that represents a group of individuals. When a collective noun is used to refer to a group as a single entity, it is considered singular and requires a singular verb.
In this case, the verb should agree with the singular subject "Half," so the correct verb form is "takes" (B). </span></div>
