Correct Answer: 3


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

The phrase in sea should be replaced with at sea to convey the intended meaning that many people have tragically died in the ocean.

At sea means on or under the sea, far away from land which conveys the exact meaning intended in the sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Many people have lost their lives at sea."
