Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. We needing to kept.
- The given sentence is not grammatically correct.
- The error in the original sentence is that the verb forms "needing" and "kept" are incorrect.
- Instead, we need to use the infinitive form of the verb "need" which is "to need", and the present participle form of the verb "keep" which is "keeping".
Therefore, the corrected sentence is:
"We need to keep a close eye on the rising prices of fuel."
