Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
The error lies in the agreement between the subject and the verb. The expression the number is followed by a singular verb whereas the expression "a number" is followed by a plural verb.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: The number of guests invited to the party is five hundred.
