(a) can read
(b) could read
(c) can to read
(d) can't read​

Answer 1

Chopin could read the music when he was there.

Why 'could' is the right option?

• According to the sentence structure rules, if one clause is in the past tense, the other clause should also in the past tense.
• It can be past indefinite or past perfect tense.
• A clause in present tense must always be followed by a present tense or future tense.

Thus, b) is the correct option.
