Correct Answer: Some of the boys


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation : The original sentence has a subject-verb agreement error. "Any" should be replaced with "some" to match the plural noun "boys". Additionally, "is" should be changed to "are" to agree with the plural subject "some of the boys".

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Some of the boys in my team are very intelligent."
