Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. would like to invite you.
Error Concept:The underlined phrase "would like to invited" contains an incorrect verb form.
What is wrong:The word “invited” is the past participle, but after "would like to," we must use the base form of the verb.
Grammatical Concept:"Would like to" is followed by the base form (V1) of the main verb, not the past participle (V3).
Incorrectness of the concept in context:Using “invited” after “would like to” is grammatically incorrect. It violates the rule of modal + base verb structure.
How to correct:Replace "invited" with "invite" to maintain proper grammar and tense.
Correct phrase/ correction:would like to invite you
Final sentence:We would like to invite you to chair a session at our Conference early next year.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
