Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. World around us also has an effect.

The error lies in part 3 of the statement because of the wrong use of the verb.

Concept-

  • We need to replace "has" with "have" for making the statement grammatically correct.
  • As the verb is being used for "environment and the world" that is plural we need to use a plural verb.
  • So we need to use "have" at the place of "has".

The correct sentence will be-

The internal and external environment we experience in our thoughts, feelings and the world around us also have an effect.
