Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the second option.
"Much" is used to refer to the quantity of things that are uncountable, whereas "many" is used for nouns that can be counted. Hence, "many" should be replaced with "much" to make the sentence grammatically accurate.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "He received much praise for his latest invention."
