Correct Answer: but it still deny


Solution : The correct choice is the f ourth option.

The error lies in the "but it still deny," as the verb (deny) should be singular in the form to agree to the singular subject (the company). Thus, "deny" should be replaced with "denies" to make the sentence grammatically accurate.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The company was sued for breach of contract, but it still denies any wrongdoing."
