Correct Answer: withdrew all support
Solution : The error lies in the third option.
The error lies in the verb form. The correct past tense form of withdraw is withdrew, but in this segment, withdrew is preceded by to, which is incorrect. The infinitive is always followed by the base form of the verb, that is, withdraw . The infinitive form to withdraw is used after decided to indicate the action that was decided upon.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: The allies of the government decided to withdraw all support.
