They published the news many times.
Many times the news has been published(by them).

There should be "nuclear was broken out" because after was we can't use present tense verb using s or es.

I think a would be the answer because many is a indefinite pronoun which is always used for plural forms so instead of has there should be have.

"Many a times", "the end of the world is certain".
