Correct Answer: She rarely approached nobody


Solution : The correct choice is the third option .

The error is in the first part of the sentence, as it should be "She rarely approached anybody". The use of "nobody" is a double negative, which makes the sentence confusing.

Hence, the correct sentence is: She rarely approached anybody to talk about the problems that she was facing.
