Correct Answer: 1
Solution : The first option is appropriate because 'greatest' is the superlative degree of the adjective 'great' and should be followed by 'all the' rather than 'all other' which makes the sentence contextually correct. All the other options fall out of context.
Therefore, the correct statement should be "William Shakespeare is the greatest of all the writers."
