Correct Answer: 3
Solution : The third option is the correct choice.
The phrase if and but means condition, which is incorrect in this context. It should be replaced with ifs and buts , which refer to excuses and restrictions , as the proposal was composed of a lot of conditions that made the building of the stadium a mere difficult task.
Therefore, the correct statement would be: "The proposal was full of ' ifs' and 'buts' that I seriously doubted whether the stadium would ever be built."
