Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.

The correction is to change "pair" to "pairs" because the correct plural form of "pair" is "pairs" when referring to multiple pairs of shoes. "Pair" means only one pair of two shoes. Here, thirty-five is mentioned, so the plural form "pairs" must be used.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Can you imagine that she has thirty-five pairs of shoes."
