Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. they can play.

  1. The error lies in option 4 because of the wrong use of "Tense".
  2. We need to replace "Can" with "Could" for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical concept:- 

  • The correct structure for the hypothetical statement is:-
  • If + subject + had + past participle + object, subject + could/might/would + v1 + object.
  • The chosen option contains the Grammatical Error hence, it will be the correct choice.

Correct Sentence:-

If they had a playground here, they could play after their school is over.
