Correct Answer: is a honest


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

The error lies in the third option. The error in this option is the incorrect use of the indefinite article a before honest. The correct form should be an honest because honest begins with a vowel sound.

So, the correct sentence should be: "My mother is an honest and well-known woman in the society."
