Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The sentence could be improved using the third alternative .
"Fronds" is a noun that means a long leaf of any tree, and it does not produce any specific sound. A note is something that has a particular frequency. So, in this case, "musical sound" is a better alternative that correctly fits into the context of the sentence conveying its intended meaning.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "The fronds of the coconut tree make a gentle musical sound when the wind blows."
