Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
Both the words "than" and "but" can be used as a conjunction, but they differ in their usages, as than is used for making comparisons, whereas but is used to highlight contrasts or contradictions between two ideas or clauses in a sentence. Thus, than should be replaced with but in the sentence to convey the intended meaning that it is nothing more but only pride.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: It is nothing but pride.
