Correct Answer: was one of those thing you never


Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

Explanation: The error in the sentence is the use of thing instead of things .

The phrase one of those is followed by a plural noun because it refers to a category or group of things. In this context, the sentence is talking about a general category of things that a person never gets around to doing. So, "things" should be used instead of the singular form "thing" to maintain proper agreement with the plural context.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "We talked about writing a will, but it was one of those things you never get around to doing."
