Correct Answer: brake hard


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

The error lies in the use of the word brakes , which is a plural noun referring to the device used to stop a vehicle. The correct word in this context is brake , which is a verb that means to slow down or stop a vehicle. The improved version of the sentence uses the correct verb form, brake , to convey the intended meaning that you need to slow down when going down the hill.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: You'll have to brake hard when you go down the hill.
