Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
The subject "three-fourths of the men" is a plural subject. So, the correct verb form to use according to the subject-verb agreement with a plural subject is "have gone," not "has gone".
Therefore, the correct sentence is: Three-fourths of the men have gone to war.
