Correct Answer: (4)


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

The verb lies means to tell an untruth or a false statement. The past tense is lied , which fits the sentence appropriately. Lay means to put something down, and laid is the past tense of lay . Lain is the past participle form of lie and is not correct according to the context of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is: No improvement.
