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.
