Correct Answer: (3)


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

The phrase "on his own two legs" is not correct, as the correct idiom is "on his own two feet". It signifies a person's ability to be self-reliant and independent. It implies that someone is standing or moving without assistance, often in a metaphorical sense.

Therefore, the correct sentence is "It is high time he stood on his own two feet ".
