(4) No Improvement
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 3
Solution : The correct answer is the third option.
There is an error in the use of the proper preposition in the sentence.
"For" suggests that he is known for a specific reason or accomplishment, which is not the intended meaning. "Among" suggests that he is known within a group of people, but does not convey the intended meaning of being generally known by others.
Therefore, the correct statement should be: "He is known to others."
