Correct Answer: 1


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation : The modal verb "can we" should be replaced with "shall we". The use of the question tag "shall we" is appropriate in this context as it suggests a suggestion or an invitation. A question tag is a very short clause at the end of a statement that changes the statement into a question. A question tag is formed by inverting the subject and verb of a statement.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Let's buy a new phone with the annual bonus, shall we ?"
