the teacher’s

to monitor

The Principal requested

and take care of the small children

- Option 1: the teacher’s

- This is a possessive form, indicating something belonging to the teacher.

- It appears to be incorrect here as there is no noun directly following "the teacher’s" that it is modifying.

- Option 2: to monitor

- This is a correct phrase. It's part of an infinitive verb phrase and fits well in the sentence as an action requested by the Principal.

- Option 3: The Principal requested

- This is correct as well. It's the main clause introducing what is being requested.

- Option 4: and take care of the small children

- This part is also correct. It complements the action mentioned in "to monitor."

Overall, the error is in the possessive form "the teacher’s." It should likely be "the teachers" or "the teacher."

Correct Answer: Option 1, the teacher’s
