Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The sentence can be improved using the second option: why he should be permitted.

It correctly uses the passive voice structure and conveys the idea that he should be allowed or given permission to use the place as a picnic spot. The verb "permit" should be in its past participle form, which is permitted, to form the passive voice structure.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "There's no valid reason why he should be permitted to turn this place into his picnic spot."
