Correct Answer: pass away
Solution : The segment that contains a grammatical error is the second option.
The correct phrase should be had passed away not "had pass away". "Had passed" is the past perfect tense form, which is the correct way to express that the patient died before the arrival of the doctor. The past perfect tense is used to denote the action that happened earlier than the other action in the past. "Pass away" is a phrasal verb that means "to die".
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The doctor came after the patient had passed away ."
