Correct Answer: taught me algebra


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation : The original sentence, "He teaches me algebraic and geometry twice a week", contains an error as algebraic should be replaced with algebra . The correct form should be in the past tense to align with the frequency indicated. "Taught" is the past tense of "teach" and is appropriate for describing an action that occurred at specific intervals in the past.

So, the correct sentence would be: "He taught me algebra twice a week."
