Answer 1

The correction that should be made to this sentence is to change 'causing' to 'may cause' - option (3).

Step-by-step explanation:

The correction that should be made to this sentence is to change 'causing' to 'may cause' - option (3).

This change is necessary to indicate a possibility rather than a certainty. It implies that forgetting to pay a bill may lead to a service being discontinued, but it does not necessarily guarantee it.

By using 'may cause' instead of 'causing,' the sentence becomes more accurate and reflects the potential consequences of forgetting to pay a bill.
