Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. No error.

The sentence "The investors were put off by the dirty visage of the workshop" contains no error. Each part of the sentence is grammatically correct and makes sense contextually. "The investors were" correctly establishes the subject and verb, indicating who was affected. "Put off by the dirty" accurately uses the phrasal verb "put off" to show that the investors were discouraged or repelled by something unclean. "Visage of the workshop" correctly uses "visage" to describe the appearance or face of the workshop.

Therefore, "No error" is the correct answer, as all parts of the sentence are properly constructed and convey the intended meaning without any mistakes.
