Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

Explanation : The error lies in the verb tense. The phrase "an early reply has expected" should be replaced with "an early reply is expected" to maintain consistency with the present tense as per the passive voice structure. As the sense suggests, passive in present simple, i.e., "an early reply is expected", is the right usage.

The correct sentence would be: "Considering the gravity of the problems, an early reply is expected ."
