Explanation:
The given sentence is in present tense and the main verb is 'dares'. The verb 'dare' is an irregular verb, which means it does not follow the regular conjugation pattern. Its past tense and past participle forms are 'dared'. Hence, the correct form of the verb 'dare' should be used based on the subject-verb agreement.
Option A: 'he dares to speak' - This is the correct form of the verb 'dare' in present tense for third-person singular subject (he/she/it). It agrees with the subject 'he' and the infinitive 'to speak' is used after the verb 'dares'. This option is grammatically correct and makes sense in the given context.
Option B: 'he dare to speak' - This form of the verb 'dare' is incorrect in present tense for third-person singular subject. It does not agree with the subject 'he'. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option C: 'he dare speak' - This form of the verb 'dare' is also incorrect in present tense for third-person singular subject. It does not agree with the subject 'he' and the infinitive 'to' is missing before the verb 'speak'. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option D: 'No improvement' - This option suggests that the given sentence is already correct and does not require any improvement. However, this is not true as the subject-verb agreement is not correct in the original sentence. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
