Improve the highlighted part of the sentence. Choose ‘No improvement’ as an answer if the sentence is grammatically correct.
The Government has been building more schools to provided education at the secondary level.

Correct option is D

The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (d) “provide education at.”
Explanation: The sentence uses “has been building,” which is in the present perfect continuous tense. It requires the infinitive form of the verb after “to.” The phrase “to provided” is grammatically incorrect because “to” must be followed by the base form of the verb (“provide”). Thus, “to provide education at the secondary level” is correct.
Grammatical rule used:
After “to” (when part of an infinitive), the base or first form of the verb is always used.
Example:

Incorrect: She wants to went there.

Correct: She wants to go there.

Information booster:
This rule applies to infinitives (to + verb), not to prepositional “to” (e.g., “look forward to meeting you”), where “to” is part of a prepositional phrase followed by a gerund.
