Correct Answer: She is quiet a generous woman


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option .

The error is in the word quiet , which should be quite . The word "quite" is an adverb that means to a considerable extent or degree. In this context, it is used to emphasise the generosity of the woman. The word "quiet" is an adjective, and it does not fit the intended meaning in this context.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: She is quite a generous woman.
