Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3, i.e. financing and paying of our dream hybrid or college tuition fees.

  • 'Paying of our' contains the grammatical error. Here the verb 'paying' is an action that's supposed to be done regarding some cause. 'Of' does not regard any cause/reason/to the uttermost, but expresses the relationship between a part and a whole. So, the correct form would be 'paying for our'.
