New: SSC Stenographer Application Form 2024 Released
Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: Many prince and nobleman
Solution : The error lies in the third option.
Explanation:
The error was in using the singular forms
prince
and
nobleman
instead of their plural forms,
princes
and
noblemen,
to match the plural subject
many.
In English, when referring to multiple individuals with these titles, the plural form should be used.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: Many princes and noblemen wished to marry the beautiful princess.
