- (Q)

- (S)
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 3
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
There is an error in the use of pronouns in the sentence. The pronoun ''whom'' should be replaced with ''who'' to convey the intent of a polite request asking someone to provide the name of the person who wrote the book. ''Whom'' is typically used as the object of a verb or preposition, while ''who'' is used as the subject of a verb.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Can you tell me the name of the person who wrote the book?"
