Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The third option is the correct choice.

This is because ''will'' should be replaced with ''would''. There is an error in the use of the modal verb. Modal verbs in the simple tense are always followed by the base form of the verb. Thus, in order for the sentence to be grammatically correct, the options ''shall'' and ''can'' cannot be used in the sentence and are hence incorrect.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Your son would have looked smart in a kurta."
