Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

The reason for the error is the subject-verb agreement. The subject "behaviour of young boys" is singular, so the verb should also be singular, which is "is" instead of "are".

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The behaviour of young boys is the subject of comment the world over.
