Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation : The error in the original sentence is in the use of the plural form "details" after "in". The correct form should use the singular form "detail" because detail itself means complete information, which indicates a comprehensive explanation.

So, the correct sentence would be: "I told him the story in detail to make him understand it fully."
