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.
