Correct Answer: won the vote


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation : "Win" should be changed to "won" to correctly represent the past tense of the verb in this context. In the given sentence, the context is specific to a completed event where the candidate emerged as the winner. So, the use of the noun form "vote" is more appropriate to indicate a singular instance of the voting process that the candidate won.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "The candidate won the vote by a narrow margin."
