Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: One of his books were
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
There is an error in the segment "one of his books were" of the sentence.
The phrase "one of his books" is the subject of the sentence and is followed by a singular verb. So, it should be "one of his books was" instead of "one of his books were" to maintain the proper subject-verb agreement.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "One of his books was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in the year 1992."
