Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The error lies in the first option of the sentence.
This is a case of the subjunctive mood, and in these cases, the base form of the verb should be used without "s". Thus, he should take should be replaced with he take without "s" to make the sentence grammatically accurate. Use the subjunctive mood, not the indicative, after verbs such as suggest demand, urge, insist, etc.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The doctor recommended that he take a holiday."
