Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
Explanation:
The error in this sentence is in the conjunction of verb forms. The verb "wishes" already indicates a desire or wish, and using "will be" after it is redundant and grammatically incorrect.
Wishes: This verb already implies a desire or wish, and it is expressed in the subjunctive mood "were" to express an unreal or hypothetical condition. We use the subjunctive mood when we are expressing wishes, hopes, dreams, or hypothetical situations. The subjunctive mood of "to be" is "were".
Therefore, the correct sentence is: Mohan wishes he were richer.
