Correct Answer: 1


Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence.

The word "hope" should be changed to "hopes" as the subject of the sentence is "hope" which is a singular subject, and it is accompanied by a plural verb, which is grammatically incorrect. Consequently, a plural verb must accompany a plural subject.

Therefore, the accurate sentence should be: "All my hopes were duped, and I was plunged in deep sorrow."
