Correct Answer: lost control when
Solution : The correct answer is the second option.
Explanation : The original sentence contains a tense and conjunction issue. The verb "lose" should be in the past tense to indicate that the driver lost control at a specific point in the past. Additionally, the conjunction "as soon as" is replaced with "when" for better clarity and coherence. In this correction, the past tense "lost" accurately reflects the timing of the event, and the conjunction "when" appropriately indicates the point at which the driver lost control.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: The driver lost control when he was taking a right turn.
