Option 3: No substitution required
Option 4: their was collusion by the objectors, due to similarities
Correct Answer: there was collusion between objectors, due to similarities
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
The original sentence had a subject-verb agreement issue with "collusions", which should be singular, i.e., "collusion".
The term "collusion" refers to secret or illegal cooperation, often with the implication of deceit, which fits the context better.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "He suggested there was collusion through objectors, due to similarities in some letters sent to the council."
