Correct Answer: (3)


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

The phrase to pass away the time should be replaced with to pass the time, as it is used more in a general context, which means spending time by occupying oneself during the waiting or idle time.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: He says that he reads novels to pass the time .
