Correct Answer: (4)
Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.
The word " fortunately" suggests that something good or lucky happened, but death is not a fortunate event. Thus, it should be unfortunate to express that it's a sad situation.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "In twenty wrecks, five lives were unfortunately lost".
