Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.

There is an error in the subject-verb agreement in the sentence. The verb "do" should be replaced with "does". The singular subject "he" should be followed by the singular verb form "does" to comply with the subject-verb agreement.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "If you describe someone as a maverick, you mean that he is unconventional and independent and does not think or behave in the same way as other people."
