Correct Answer: (1)


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

There is an error in the use of the definite article "the" in the sentence. The article "the" should be omitted to convey the intended meaning that English is a popular language among South Indians. "The English" means the people from England while "English" refers to the language.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: " English is a very popular language amongst South Indians."
