Correct Answer: 3


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

Here, there is a prepositional error, the preposition "by" should be replaced with the preposition "on". The preposition "by" is used to refer to the agent of action whereas the prepositional phrase "on the call" specifies that many brilliant students gave up their studies on the basis of Bhagat Singh's call.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "During India's struggle for freedom, many brilliant students gave up their studies on Bhagat Singh's call."
