Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. to complete.
- Unable here is an adjective it always follows a gerund or infinitive.
- Here, unable will take infinitive (to complete) with it.
- If you are unable to do something, it is impossible for you to do it, for example, because you do not have the necessary skill or knowledge, or because you do not have enough time or money.
Therefore, unable is the most apt. option to be used here.
