Correct Answer: 2


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

The noun forced means to strongly compel someone to do something; to put a lot of pressure on trying to persuade him to do something that fits correctly in the sentence and improves the sentence.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Told is the past form of tell which means to communicate information in spoken or written words.
  • Asked is the past form of the ask , which means to say something to obtain an answer.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "He was forced to sign the deed".
