Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence, as "to" will not be used with "make". The sentences in which two infinitives are connected by "and," the second "to" is typically omitted in order to maintain parallelism.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "Banks were developed to keep people’s money safe and make it available when they need it".
