1.
The number of applicants
2.
have increased
3.
significantly this year
4.
compared to last year

Correct Answer: have increased

The subject is "the number", which is singular, so the verb must be "has increased" rather than "have increased". The plural noun "applicants" inside the prepositional phrase does not govern the verb.
