Correct Answer: can't buy anything


Solution : The fourth option is the correct answer.

The original sentence contains a grammatical error because it uses "bought", which is the past tense of the verb "buy". When expressing a general truth, a habitual action, or a fact, the present tense is typically used. In this case, "buy" is the correct present tense form, making the sentence grammatically accurate.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "You can't buy anything with one cent anymore."
