Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e assistants will hired to.
The error is in the second part of the sentence. It should be "will be hired" instead of "will hired."
The verb "hire" is in the base form, and it needs the auxiliary verb "will" to form the future tense. However, when forming the future tense, we need to use the auxiliary verb "will" and the main verb in the base form, which should be followed by the auxiliary verb "be" in this sentence to make it grammatically correct.
Therefore, the corrected sentence is: "In some institutions, additional teaching assistants will be hired to teach high school students."
