Correct Answer: 2


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

There is an error in the use of the infinitive form in the sentence. The word "to" is not needed after "rather" in this context. The correct structure after "rather" is to use the base form of the verb directly i.e. "die".

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "I would rather die than beg."
