Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The correct answer is the third option.

"Win" should be replaced with "wrest" to convey the intended meaning that they attempted to take control of the company from their stepbrothers through force.

Therefore, the correct statement should be: "They tried to wrest control of the company from their step-brothers."
