Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.

The word unreasonable should be replaced with the adverb form unreasonably to convey the intended meaning that he is excessively anxious about pleasing his wife. Unreasonably is used to modify the adjective anxious and is the correct form to fit grammatically.

Therefore, the correct statement should be: "As I see it, he appears to be unreasonably anxious about pleasing his wife."
