Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2. i.e. went out to play.
- The segment that contains a grammatical error is "you may went out to play."
- The correct form of the verb after "may" is the base form (V1) of the verb, which is "go" in this case, not "went."
- The correct sentence should use "may go" to express the possibility or permission to play after working out the sum.
The correct sentence would be: When you have worked out this sum, you may go out to play.
