Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
The word "many" is incorrect here as it should be replaced with "much" before the word "planning". "Much" is used with uncountable nouns such as "planning" whereas "many" is used with countable nouns. In this case, "planning" is an uncountable noun, so it needs "much" instead of "many".
The correct sentence should be: "Essay writing is an art that requires much planning on the part of the writer."
