Correct Answer: We needing to kept


Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

Explanation : The sentence contains the incorrect use of the verbs "needing" and "kept". To make the sentence grammatically accurate, we needing to kept should be replaced with we need to keep . The verb "needing" is the present participle form of the verb, and the verb "kept" is the past form of the verb, which is not correct, as the sentence requires the base form of the verb because the sentence is in the present tense.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: " We need to keep a close eye on the prices of the fuel."
