Correct Answer: many old poets, such as Tennyson and Browning, have


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation:

The original sentence contains a subject-verb agreement error. The subject should be corrected to many old poets to match with the plural verb have. The first option rectifies this error by using the correct plural form, have to agree with the plural subject, many old poets.

Additionally, the structure "such as Tennyson and Browning" is appropriately used to provide examples of old poets.

So, the correct sentence is: Nonetheless, many old poets, such as Tennyson and Browning, have kept their romances to the end.
