Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. When the business is ran smoothly.
The error lies in part 1 of the statement because of the wrong use of the verb.
Concept-
- We need to replace 'ran ' with 'running' to make the statement grammatically correct.
- After 'is', V4 is used.
- So we need to use 'running' at the place of 'ran '.
The correct sentence will be-
When the business is running smoothly directors are more than happy to pick an experienced insider, who will continue along the present path.
