Improve the highlighted part of the sentence. Choose 'No improvement' if the sentence is correct.
I read the directions, but I still can't figured out how it works.

The correct answer is (a) figure out.
Explanation: The verb "figured" in "can't figured out" is incorrect because "can't" is already in the present tense, and "figured" is past tense. The correct form is "figure out" to match the present tense structure.
Meanings of all options:
· Figure out: To understand or solve something.
· Figuring out: Present continuous form of "figure out," which doesn't fit here.
· Figures off: Incorrect phrase.
· No improvement: Not the correct option because the original sentence has an error.
Corrected sentence: "I read the directions, but I still can't figure out how it works."
