Correct Answer: She didn’t knew


Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.

Explanation:
The verb didn't is a contraction of did not, and after modal verbs or auxiliaries, we use the base form of the verb. In this case, know is the base form, so the correct construction is, s he didn't know.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: She didn't know that I was out for some urgent work.
