Correct Answer: 3


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

The error is in the use of pronouns. One should be replaced with one's.

  • One is a pronoun that is often used in a general or impersonal sense. It can refer to an unspecified person or people. In this context, it's used to refer to anyone or everyone.
  • "One's" is the possessive form of "one". In this sentence, it indicates possession or ownership. So, "one's own" means "their own" or "his/her own" in a more general sense.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Our professor taught us that one should respect the religion of others as much as one's own."
