Correct Answer: (4)
Solution : The correct answer is the fourth option "No Improvement".
The phrase "Granting that he has a very great influence" effectively conveys the idea that even though the person being discussed here has a significant amount of influence, he cannot injure us. There is no grammatical or contextual issue with this phrase in the sentence as it conveys the intended meaning.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
Having great influence : This is the participle phrase that means that the person has great influence and cannot injure us, which changes the entire meaning of the sentence.
He may have great influence so: This option introduces the phrases "may have" and "so" which alter the meaning of the sentence.
Because of his great influence: it suggests that the person cannot injure the speaker because of his influence, which may not be the intended meaning.
