Correct Answer: which Gopal had caught 


Solution : The fourth option is correct.

  • The error lies in the incorrect usage of the pronoun who and the incorrect form of the verb used in the sentence.
  • The pronoun who is used in reference to people, whereas 'which' is used in reference to things.
  • The verb 'had" is usually followed by the third form of the verb.
  • Thus, which will be used in place of who, and caught will be used in place of catch.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: Nobody was interested in the fish which Gopal had caught from the river.
