How to correct a mistake?
His future goal depends on getting the best education he can do.
I think the underlined part is wrong. The textbook says that I should correct this by changing the underlined part into “he can.” Is it also okay to say “he can get” as in, “His future goal depends on getting the best education he can get.” Is it more natural to omit “get”?
