Correct Answer: to be closed


Solution : The correct choice for improvement is the third option.

Explanation : The phrase "to being" should be replaced with "to be" because the infinitive "to" should be followed by the base form of the verb i.e., "be". The infinitive to be indicates the purpose or action to follow, making the sentence grammatically correct and concise.

So, the correct sentence would be: It is time for the factory to be closed.
