Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation : The original sentence has the subject-verb agreement error. "Some people" is a plural subject, so it should be followed by the plural form of the verb have instead of has . In the sentence, the negation is formed by using "do not" before the base form of the main verb, try .

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Some people have all the luck even when they do not try very hard."
