Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : In this sentence, the word "write" is used correctly, but it needs a preposition to complete the sentence and to specify the purpose of having the pen.
"Write with" is the correct alternative because it provides the appropriate preposition as withis used for objects and conveys that she has no pen with which to write.
"Write at" and "write in" are not suitable in this context.
So, the correct sentence should be: "She has no pen to write with".
