The registrar's formal grant contains the error 'may to store'. Choose the corrected completion: You ___ here overnight.

  1. may storing the sealed parcel
  2. may to store the sealed parcel
  3. may store the sealed parcelCorrect answer
  4. mays store the sealed parcel

May store the sealed parcel correctly expresses the registrar's formal grant because may is followed by the bare verb. May to store preserves the original error, while storing and the third-person form mays also violate the structure of a core modal.
