Correct Answer: (3)


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

The phrase even less pleasant is used correctly, but the structure of the third part is awkward and unclear. To make it coherent, we can use the conjunction "for" to connect the two clauses, making the sentence easier to understand. The phrase even read will replace read even as there are minor differences in their usage. Even read emphasises the difficulty of reading in a particular situation, whereas read even can be used when you want to emphasise the activity itself rather than the difficulty.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Long car journeys are even less pleasant, for it is quite impossible to even read .
