Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.

Explanation : The word "needy" is being used as a proper noun, representing a group of people in need. In this context, it should be preceded by the definite article "the" to make it grammatically correct. The definite article "the" is used when we are talking about a specific set or category of individuals.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "We must have sympathy for the needy and the poor."
