Key Points
- The sentence is grammatically correct as it correctly uses the modal verb 'may' to express possibility or likelihood.
- The clause "be able to leave the hospital early next week." is also correct as it properly follows the modal verb 'may' to complete the sentence.
- In the context of your sentence, "He may be able to leave the hospital early next week", the article 'the' before 'hospital' provides some crucial context.
- It implies that the speaker and the listener (or reader) already know which hospital is being referred to.
- This could be because the hospital has been mentioned before in the conversation, or the specific situation makes it clear which hospital is meant.
- All the parts of the sentence are grammatically correct as they follow the standard English syntax and agree in tense and number.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.
