Correct Answer: firmly shuted


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

The error in the sentence is in the word shuted. The correct past participle of shut is shut. The verb shut is irregular, so its past tense and past participle remain the same.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: We usually sleep in bedrooms with the door firmly shut behind us.
