Correct Answer: times of natural


Solution : The underlined part can be improved by choosing the first option.

Explanation: The original phrase "Even in time of natural disasters" is grammatically correct but can be refined for better clarity. The suggested improvement, "Even in times of natural disasters" is a more idiomatic and standard expression. It conveys the idea that farmers have to pay their share of taxes not only during a specific natural disaster but also during various occurrences of such disasters.

So, the correct sentence would be: "Even in times of natural disasters, the farmers had to pay their share of taxes."
