The correct answer is 'late to the class; he has been warn'.

Key Points

  • The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
  • Here, 'late to the class; he has been warned' should be used instead of 'late to the class; he has been warn'.
  • The corrected sentence uses the past participle form "warned" to indicate that the student has already received the warning from the teacher in the past.
  • The present perfect tense is used to indicate that the warning occurred at an unspecified time in the past and may have continued up to the present.
  • In contrast, the original sentence used the present tense form "warn" which is incorrect because it does not match the tense of the rest of the sentence.
  • Thus, the correct answer is Option 4.
     

Correct Sentence: One of the students is always late to the class; he has been warned by the teacher many times; but still, he keeps on being late.
