Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
Lay is not the correct verb to be used in this sentence, as it means to put something down. Lie should be used in place of lay as it means to be in a horizontal position, which is the intended meaning of the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The doctor advised Mr Murugan that because of his severe cramps, he should lie in bed for a few days."
