Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
Tolerable is the correct adjective to describe the level of tolerance, while tolerably is the adverb form. In this context, we are describing how the pealing of bells is only acceptable to an ordinary person when certain conditions are met. So, the adjective tolerable should be used.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: To the ordinary man, in fact, the pealing of bells is a monotonous jangle and a nuisance, tolerable only when mitigated by remote distance and sentimental association.
