✅ Correct Option: 1
| Part | Statement | Analysis | Correction |
|---|---|---|---|
| (A) | "The economist were of the opinion" | Subject-verb agreement error: singular subject "economist" with plural verb "were" | "The economist was" or "The economists were" |
| (B) | "that the government should give longer times to farmers" | Incorrect phrasing: "longer times" is grammatically incorrect | "more time" |
| (C) | "to pay the loan instead of waiving the entire farm loan" | Grammatically correct | No correction needed |
| (D) | "as doing so is not good for credit culture" | Grammatically correct | No correction needed |
Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.
