Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The correct answer is the second option.
The sentence has a conjunction error. It uses " so" to connect two independent clauses, which is incorrect. "So" is typically used to express a result or consequence, but in this context, it's better to use "please" for a polite request. By replacing "so" with "please", the sentence becomes grammatically correct and conveys the intended meaning more clearly.
So, the correct sentence is, "As I am suffering from fever, please grant me leave for two days."
