Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The error lies in the first option.

Explanation: The error is in the use of the verb "be" followed directly by "pass". The correct structure should be "pass" without "be". The correct construction is "could pass", indicating the potential to successfully complete the exams.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: He could pass his exams if he studied harder.
