Correct Answer: (2)


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

There is an error in the use of relative pronouns in the sentence. The pronoun "which" should be replaced with "who" to convey the intended meaning that Ayesha is a unique person who does not follow others blindly. "Who" is the appropriate subjective relative pronoun as it is used for persons whereas "which" is used for things.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Ayesha is among the few people in the office who did not blindly follow the path of others."
