    Solution

    The phrase threaten to upended is incorrect. The correct verb form is upend (base form) because the structure to + verb requires the infinitive form. The correct sentence will be: "The measures, if they are ordered, threaten to upend a business expected to generate more than $300 billion in revenue this year."
