Correct Answer: By virtue off
Solution : The error lies in the second option.
Explanation: "By virtue off" should be corrected to "by virtue of". The correct phrase to indicate the reason or basis for something is "by virtue of." It means "because of" or "due to". The correct usage is important for clarity and proper expression of the idea that the followers accepted the leader's decision because of the power given to him.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: By virtue of the power given to the leader, the followers accepted his decision.
