Correct Answer: A


Solution : The correct answer is option 1

Explanation:

  • - The word 'commanders-in-chiefs' is used erroneously in the provided sentence.
  • - We know that 'commanders-in-chief' is the plural version of 'commander-in-chief.'
  • - For instance, he and a friend were the commanders-in-chief.
  • - To amend the sentence, replace 'commander-in-chiefs' with 'commanders-in-chief.'
  • As a result, the correct sentence is : The commanders-in-chief of all the three forces are coming for the ceremony.

  • Consider the plural form of the following compound nouns:
  • Bed-room & Bed-rooms
  • Father-in-law & Fathers-in-law
  • Step-daughter & Step-daughters
  • Mother-in-law & Mothers-in-law
