Correct Answer: (3)


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

The reason for the error is that "much" should be replaced with "very" to convey the degree of excitement appropriately. "Much" is generally used with uncountable nouns, while "very" is used to modify adjectives like "exciting" to indicate a high degree.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "The hockey match between India and Pakistan was very exciting."
