Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error lies in the third option .
Holdeth is an archaic term that is a singular indicative form of hold. "Holdeth his peace" indicates that the subject is singular. Thus, "even fools" should be replaced with "even a fool" to make the sentence grammatically accurate.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: " Even a fool when he holdeth his peace is counted wise."
