Correct Answer: to complete the project on time


Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.

  • The original sentence contains an error, and the correct phrase is to complete the project on time. The preposition in should be replaced with on.
  • In time suggests completing something with extra time, while on time implies meeting a scheduled deadline.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "You must employ additional hands to complete the project on time ."
