Her latest novel is considered one of the most captivating story in contemporary literature, earning praise for its intricate plot and well-developed characters

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Her latest novel is considered one of the most captivating story.

The error occurs because the phrase "one of the most" implies selection from multiple items, so the noun following it must be plural.

In this case, "story" should be plural, as it's referring to one among many captivating stories.

Therefore, "story" should be "stories" to maintain grammatical agreement.
