Correct Answer: healthy person may


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation : The error lies in using "health" instead of the correct term, "healthy". " Healthy " is the adjectival form that appropriately modifies the noun "person" to convey the intended meaning. Therefore, the correction is specifically about replacing "health" with "healthy" to achieve proper adjective-noun agreement.

So, the correct sentence would be: " A healthy person may carry germs of typhoid, cholera, dysentery, etc., in his body."
