Select the most appropriate option to substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence. If no substitution is required, select ‘No substitution’.
Does this plant be kept indoors?

Correct option is D

The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (d) Can.
Explanation:
The verb “does” cannot be used with “be” in this structure. The correct modal auxiliary here is "can", which is used to ask about ability or possibility. The sentence is asking for permission or possibility regarding keeping the plant indoors.
Grammatical Rule Used:
Modal verbs like can, could, should, must, etc. are used before the base form of the verb without "do/does/did".
Correct sentence: Can this plant be kept indoors?
Example: Can this device be repaired?
Information Booster:
You never use “do/does/did” with modals like can, should, etc.
