- B. The majority of the university faculty has formed into factions, some supporting the university's president, and others calling for his ouster.
- C. The majority of the university faculty have formed to factions, some supporting the university's president, and others calling for his ouster.
- D. A majority of the university faculty has formed into factions, some supporting the university's president, and others calling for his ouster.
Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: 'The majority of the university faculty has formed into factions, some supporting the university's president, and others calling for his ouster.' In this sentence, 'the majority of the university faculty' is treated as a singular entity, thus requiring the singular verb 'has'. Option A uses 'have', which is incorrect for a singular subject. Option C includes both the incorrect verb 'have' and the incorrect preposition 'to'. Option D, while grammatically correct, uses 'A majority' instead of 'The majority', which slightly changes the intended meaning by making it less specific.

About Chemical Equilibrium
Reversible reactions reach dynamic equilibrium when forward and reverse rates become equal, and Le Chatelier's principle predicts the effect of changing concentration, pressure or temperature. The chapter also covers solubility product, the common ion effect, buffer action and the conditions used in Haber's process, with equilibrium shifts distinguished from changes in the equilibrium constant.
