Ans: C (Note: 'last' here is the main verb, but option C 'non finite' might be a typo in the source for 'finite' or 'main'. Given the context of options provided, and typical question patterns, 'Main' or 'Principal' would be expected. However, looking at the source key, it indicates Ans: C which corresponds to 'non finite' in the snippet, which is grammatically incorrect as 'lasts' is finite. It's possible the options in the original exam were different or the key refers to a different option C like 'Intransitive' or 'Main'. Based on standard grammar, 'lasts' is a Finite/Main/Intransitive verb. Source key says C).
