Correct Answer: 1
Solution : The appropriate answer is the first option as 'drawback' should be replaced with 'drawbacks' since the plural noun comes after the phrase 'one of the'.
The second option is grammatically incorrect as a singular subject should not be accompanied by plural helping verbs. Moreover, it would be wrong to use the term weakpoint making the third option incorrect .
Therefore, the correct statement should be "One of the major drawbacks of cleanliness drives is less action and more talks."
