Eugene Krabs wants to lie down in the aisle of the airplane.
Reset
Solution
The incorrect word in the sentence is "lay." The correct word to use in this context is "lie."
The verb "to lay" requires a direct object and means to place something down, while "to lie" is an intransitive verb meaning to recline oneself. Since Eugene Krabs is the subject and intends to recline, the appropriate verb is "lie."
So, the corrected sentence should read: "Eugene Krabs wants to lie down in the aisle of the airplane."
