Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
Explanation : When describing the cause of death, the preposition "of" is used to indicate the reason or condition. In this context, the correct construction is "died of cancer", where "of" establishes the relationship between the verb "died" and the cause of death, which is "cancer".
So, the correct sentence should be: "I have just come to know that Mr. Ray, one of my favourite teachers, died of cancer recently."
