Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
Many a is an idiomatic phrase that means "a large number of". It takes a singular noun man and is followed by a singular verb. Therefore, the plural verb, have must be changed to the singular verb has.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Many a man has realised that real happiness lies in making sacrifices."
