Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The error is in the first part of the sentence due to the use of "best" instead of "better." The word "better" is the appropriate comparative form in this context. The word "best" is the superlative form, which is used when comparing more than two items. When comparing two options, one should use the comparative form "better" to indicate that one option is superior to the other.
So, the correct sentence is: "It is better to be silent than to speak in anger."
