Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
Explanation: In order to align with the past tense of the main clause (If the farmer got a washing machine), the verb can should be in the past tense as well. Consequently, it should be replaced with could to accurately convey the intended meaning.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: If the farmer got a washing machine, his wife could do the laundry quickly.
