Correct Answer: (2)


Solution :

The correct answer is the second option.

It is the correct improvement because it conveys the idea of obligation or necessity. It accurately indicates that tax-payers are required or obligated to be conscious of their privileges.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

Might : It suggests a possibility or uncertainty about whether tax-payers should be conscious of their privileges, which is not the intended meaning.

Could : It introduces the possibility of being conscious of privileges but doesn't convey the same sense of obligation as " have to".

So, the sentence should be, "Tax-payers have to be conscious of their privileges."
