Option 1: as hard as ligaments, and many were an inch long
Option 2: No substitution required
Option 3: hard as ligament, and many an inch at length

Correct Answer: as hard as ligaments, and many were an inch long
Solution : The first option is correct.
- The original sentence uses ligament in singular form, which is incorrect as the ligament is a countable noun and should be pluralised.
- The correct comparison is as hard as ligaments instead of "as hard as ligaments."
- The correct description of length is an inch long instead of many an inch of length .
Therefore, the correct answer is as hard as ligaments and many were an inch long.
