Correct Answer: drive on


Solution : The error lies in the first option.

Explanation: In the given sentence, the phrase "drive on" is not idiomatically correct when used with the expression "getting used to". The construction "getting used to" is followed by a gerund (the -ing form of a verb), not the bare infinitive. This usage reflects the process of adapting to or becoming accustomed to the activity of driving on busy roads.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: I am getting used to driving on the busy roads of the crowded city.
