Correct Answer: This will be most difficult of


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

The phrase "most difficult of" is incorrect. It's missing the definite article "the" before "most difficult". When comparing or ranking things, the definite article "the" is used before the superlative adjective "most difficult".

So, the correct sentence is: "This will be the most difficult of the adjustments we have to make because we have been used to spending a lot on guests."
