Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
The word "solemness" is not commonly used in English. The more appropriate term to use in this context is "solemnity". "Solemnity" refers to a state of seriousness or gravity, which fits the intended meaning of the sentence.
So, the correct sentence should be: He was smiling, but his eyes retained a look of solemnity.
