Key Points
- In this context, "affected" is the correct word to use, as it means to produce a change or influence something.
- "Effected" is rarely used and typically appears in more formal or technical contexts, where it means to bring about or accomplish something.
- In this sentence, we want to say that the riots have had an impact on the economy, so "affected" is the correct verb form to use.
- The subject of the sentence is "the entire economy," which is singular, so we need to use the singular verb form "has been affected."
The correct answer is Option 4.
Correct sentence: The entire economy has been affected by the riots in the state.
