Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
The phrase ''the sun that is setting glimmer'' should be replaced with ''the setting sun glimmer'' to describe the visual effect of the sun's rays. The sentence conveys the meaning that the rays of the setting sun shine faintly like threads.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The rays of the setting sun glimmer like threads."
