Correct Answer: that King Lear confided to


Solution : The error lies in the first option.

Here, confided to should be replaced with confided in,as confided is followed by the preposition to.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: There was no denying the fact that King Lear confided in his daughter Cordelia more than anybody else.
