Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence.
The helping verb could need an action verb to form any meaning. So, the verb help should be moved before the conjunction but. Also, the two action verbs help and shed cannot go together.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "He couldn't help but shed tears at the plight of the villagers rendered homeless by a devastating cyclone".
