Correct Answer: (3)


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

The reason for the error is the inappropriate usage of more with preferable as "preferable" itself is a comparative form of adjective.

So, the correct sentence should be: In my opinion, a pencil is always preferable to a pen.
