Correct Answer: Mount Everest


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

The bracketed phrase ( Those Mount Everests) seems to be an attempt to refer to Mount Everest. However, it is not grammatically correct, and a more direct and appropriate way to express this is simply Mount Everest. Here, Mount Everest is a singular and specific reference to the highest mountain on Earth, and it fits seamlessly into the sentence.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: " Mount Everest is Earth's highest mountain above sea level, located in the sub-range of the Himalayas."
