Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is ensured if they all tried to i.e. option 4.
The error is in the part "ensured if they all tried to."
The use of "tried" suggests a past attempt, but in this context, the sentence is expressing a condition for the future.
Therefore, it is more appropriate to use "try" to convey a future action.
