Correct Answer: would passes


Solution : The error lies in the first option .

In this sentence, "would" is the auxiliary verb indicating a future possibility or likelihood, and "pass" should be in its base form to agree with "would". The incorrect form "would passes" uses "passes," which is the present tense form and does not agree with the auxiliary verb "would".

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: I am sure Helena would pass with flying colours.
