Correct Answer: to clean


Solution : The third option is the correct answer.

The original sentence contains an error in the use of the verb have . When expressing the reason for hiring someone to perform a task, the infinitive form of the verb is commonly used. In this case, the purpose is to have the house cleaned, so to clean is the appropriate choice.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: They hired a maid to clean the house.
