(1) only to appear again.
(2) die a temporary deaths
(3) Things in nature
(4) No Error
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error lies in the second option , "die a temporary death."
In the sentence, the singular noun " death " should be used in place of the plural noun "deaths", which is used when we refer to multiple instances of the passing away of living beings. " Things in nature " refer to the plural form and must agree with the plural verb, i.e., "die".
The sentence suggests that in the natural world, various phenomena undergo periods of decline or dormancy, but eventually they re-emerge.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "Things in nature die a temporary death only to appear again".
