      Question

      The following sentence has been split into four

      segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.                                                                                                                                     The company has been working (1)/ tirelessly to meet the deadlines, but (2)/ they couldn’t finished it on time (3)/ no error (4)
      A The company has been working Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B tirelessly to meet the deadlines, but Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C they couldn’t finished it on time Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D no error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The error lies in the phrase 'couldn’t finished.' After a modal verb like 'couldn't,' the base form of the verb should be used. The correct phrase is 'couldn't finish' instead of "couldn't finished."
