Correct Answer: (1)


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

This is the case of the past subjunctive mood, which is used to refer to a hypothetical scenario. Thus, "were" should be used in place of "is" to make the sentence grammatically accurate.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "If he were a millionaire, he would help the millennium project."
