Correct Answer: Many an opportunity came and went while
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
Explanation: The original sentence contains an error regarding the usage of definitive and indefinite articles. The phrase "many a opportunities" is incorrect; it should be "many an opportunity" to maintain the proper agreement. Additionally, the verb "came" is more suitable than "come" in this context, as it matches the singular form of "opportunity".
So, the correct sentence would be: Many an opportunity came and went while he lay wasted.
