Correct Answer: are my friend's son


Solution : The fourth option is correct.

The given sentence talks about a single person, the most talented among three other boys, who is my friend's son. Thus, it should take a singular verb. Hence, are should be replaced with is to make the sentence grammatically accurate.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The most talented of these three boys is my friend's son.
