Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

There is an error in the use of the plural form of the noun in the sentence. The compound noun daughter-in-laws should be replaced with daughters-in-law to convey the intended meaning that Mrs Gupta invited all of her daughters-in-law to a grand party that occurred on the previous Sunday. The appropriate plural form to describe the wives of her sons is daughters-in-law.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Mrs.Gupta invited all her daughters-in-law to the grand party last Sunday.
