Correct Answer: 1


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation : The phrase "the white rose" should be replaced with "white rose". The sentence has "looks", which is the singular verb implying that the subject is singular, i.e., a single rose of red and white colour. There is an error in the use of "the" article in the sentence with reference to subject-verb agreement.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "The red and white rose looks beautiful."
