Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

There is an error in the subject-verb agreement in the sentence. To conform to subject-verb agreement, the singular form "distracts" should be used to comply with the subject, as the singular noun is followed by the base form of the verb + "s" or "es".

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Too great a variety of studies distracts the mind.
