Correct Answer: 1


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

There is an error in the form of the auxiliary verb in the sentence. The verb "has" should be replaced with "have" to convey the intended meaning that men who have achieved success through their own efforts are respected by others. To conform to the Subject-verb agreement, the plural form of the auxiliary verb "have" should be used.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Men who have risen by their own exertions are always respected."
