Correct Answer: (3)


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

There is an error in the use of the vocabulary in the sentence. Misery refers to great suffering or distress, which is the intended meaning, while miser refers to a person who hoards wealth and is thus incorrect.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The severe cyclonic storm has left behind a trail of misery .
