In the sentence, use of the word ‘few’ is wrong as it is used to emphasize how small a number of people or things are (hardly any). A few: Used to indicate "not a large number" The few: not many, but all of those. |
‘Few’ must be replaced with ‘a few’ or ‘the few’ So, the error is in part 3. Hence, the chosen option is correct. |
