Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The correct answer is the second option.
"He only married her for her money" should be replaced with "He married her only for her money" to convey the intended meaning that the primary reason for his marriage was her money.
The second option correctly places "only" before "for her money," emphasising that the primary reason for marriage was the money. "Only" in a sentence is used before the second verb to modify the second verb.
Therefore, the correct statement should be: "He married her only for her money."
