看答案
dive
情態助動詞 could 後接原形動詞 dive，表示銷售額可能驟降。dived 是過去式或過去分詞，diving 是現在分詞，dives 是第三人稱單數現在式，都不能直接放在此句的 could 後。
同義改寫
The branch manager reported that sales dived in June. → The branch manager reported that sales dropped suddenly in June.
此處 dived 表示銷售額驟降；dropped suddenly 保留下降突然發生的意思。
The instructor watched the simulated aircraft dive toward the ground. → The instructor watched the simulated aircraft descend rapidly and steeply toward the ground.
飛機 dive 指快速且以陡峭角度下降；改寫保留俯衝的速度、角度與方向。
