Correct Answer: (3)


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

When a sentence uses the indefinite pronoun one , it should continue using the same pronoun or its supplementary forms i.e., one's in this case , as it is not correct to use other pronouns such as he or she. Thus, his should be replaced with one's .

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "One should keep one's word."
