Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence.
The error here is "leader". It should be "leaders" because when we have a compound subject like "Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Patel, and Jawaharlal Nehru", which refers to multiple individuals, the verb should agree in number with the subject.
In this case, since there are multiple leaders, the verb "were" should be used to match the plural subject "leaders".
So, the correct sentence should be: "The best-known leaders among them were Mahatma Gandhi, Sardar Patel, and Jawaharlal Nehru."
