Answer 1

The correct answer is Option 2.

Key Points

The primary issue in the sentence is the use of the pronoun "his" in part B.
The pronoun "his" should be replaced with "their" to match the plural noun "patients".
The correct phrase should be "inserted in their heart," ensuring grammatical correctness and clarity.
Thus, the error is located in part B of the sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is B.

Correct Sentence: "Many patients have plastic valves inserted in their heart when their hearts function in a faulty manner."

A: "Many patients have plastic valves," – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
C: "when their hearts function in a faulty manner." – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
No error – This would be the correct option if there were no mistakes in the sentence, but there is an error in part B.
