Correct Answer: 4


Solution : The fourth option is the correct answer i.e. "No improvement."

In this case, the original sentence is already correct. The use of the superlative "wisest" correctly compares Einstein to a group of individuals, and "men" is the appropriate plural form in this context.

Therefore, the sentence is "Einstein was one of the wisest men that ever lived."
