Correct Answer: work he became the slyer
Solution : The second option is correct.
The error is in the use of the comparative form of the adjective "sly". The correct comparative form is "slyer", but the superlative form should be "slyest" in the given sentence.
The corrected sentence would be: "When he buckled down to his work, he became the slyest and cleverest of diplomats."
