Correct Answer: 1
Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence.
The appropriate usage is "The first two chapters of the book". This is because ordinal numbers, such as "first" denote the order or position in a series, while cardinal numbers, such as "two", indicate quantity.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The first two chapters of the book are highly engaging, whereas the remaining ones are tedious."
