can finish

could

- The given sentence is: "Sahana worked late last night and could be able to finish her homework."

- The underlined segment is "could be able to," which is incorrect because "could" and "be able to" both indicate ability, making it redundant.

- Option 1: "can able to" - This is incorrect because "can" and "able" are both used to express ability, which is redundant.

- Option 2: "can finish" - This is incorrect due to tense inconsistency. "Worked" in the past tense should align with "could" for past ability.

- Option 3: "could be" - Incorrect because it suggests a possibility rather than completion.

- Option 4: "could" - The best option as it correctly indicates past ability without redundancy.
