Correct Answer: 1


Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

The sentence is in the past tense, and the word "saves " is in the simple present tense. So, the verb "saves " should be replaced with "saved", which is a simple past tense.

Therefore, the correct statement would be: "The poor man saved money, but then he began to worry that thieves might take it away."
