Correct Answer: work to do


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

In the sentence provided, the segment "to does" contains an error.

The word "do" in this context is the base form of the verb and is used after the preposition "to". When using the infinitive form (to + base form of the verb), such as "to do", the base form of the verb remains unchanged regardless of the subject. Therefore, it should be "to do" instead of "to does" in the sentence to maintain the proper meaning.

Hence, the correct sentence would be: "She was bored because she didn't have any work to do ."
