New: SSC Stenographer Application Form 2024 Released
Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: have died off
Solution : The error lies in the third option.
Explanation : While "have died off" is grammatically correct, the use of "off" may not be the most appropriate choice in this context. When a person dies due to a disease, we often use the preposition "of".
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: Thousands of people have died of the deadly Corona virus in the world.
