Correct Answer: Leaders are self-direct,
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
Explanation:
The error lies in the use of "self-direct", which should be "self-directed". The verb "direct" should take the past participle form "directed" to maintain the proper verb agreement. Additionally, to ensure parallel structure, the coordinating conjunction "but" should be followed by a phrase that matches the structure of the first part of the sentence.
So, the correct sentence would be: Leaders are self-directed , but learning and understanding are the keys to self-direction.
