Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error lies in the second part.
''Many a place'' should be replaced with ''many places'' to convey the intended meaning that the elections were held without any problematic actions.
''Many'' is an adjective used before a large number of countable nouns. ''A place'' is the singular form and should thus be replaced with the plural form ''places''.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: That summer, elections were held at many places without any untoward incident.
