Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Correct sentence: The water tanks may remain empty in the city on Tuesday evening as the water supply department will repair the damaged water pipes.
Explanation:
Place the location phrase "in the city" immediately after "may remain empty" so it clearly modifies where the tanks will be empty.
Follow the location with the time phrase "on Tuesday evening," which indicates when the tanks may remain empty.
Complete the sentence with the reason clause: start with the agent phrase "as the water supply department" followed by the verb phrase "will repair the damaged water pipes." This order produces a natural, grammatical explanation.
Note: The original solution mistakenly used "morning." The fragment provided is "on Tuesday evening," so the correct final sentence uses "evening."
