Explanation:

- The original sentence is: "Taylor’s husband repent(A) to continues(B) for cheating in the past(C), but she isn’t sure that his apologies(D) are sincere."

- Option 1: Swapping A and C results in "Taylor’s husband past to continues for cheating in the repent." This doesn't make sense.

- Option 2: Swapping C and D results in "Taylor’s husband repent to continues for cheating in the apologies, but she isn’t sure that his past are sincere." This is incorrect.

- Option 3: Swapping A and B forms "Taylor’s husband continues to repent for cheating in the past, but she isn’t sure that his apologies are sincere." This is grammatically correct and makes sense.

- Option 4: Swapping B and C forms "Taylor’s husband repent to past for cheating in the continues, but she isn’t sure that his apologies are sincere." This is confusing and incorrect.

- Option 5: No changes are necessary in this sentence.

Correct Answer

Option 3: A - B is the correct arrangement.
