| Error | Correction |
|-------|------------|
| disinfect | disinfected |

Explanation

The sentence requires a passive voice construction: "must be + past participle." The base verb "disinfect" should be "disinfected" to correctly form "must be disinfected." Examiners award the mark only if both columns are correctly filled.
