Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The sentence can be improved using the third option.

The sentence discusses the requirement or obligation for citizens to help the administration maintain the cleanliness of the city. The preposition "to" expresses the purpose or intention of an action; we often use the infinitive form of the verb i.e., to + base form of the verb.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "It is compulsory for every citizen to help the administration to keep the city clean."
