    E All are incorrect Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    (a) is the right answer as only (1) is grammatically correct. In (2) we need the plural verb HAVE with a singular verb HAS as the noun KNOWLEDGE is an uncountable noun and will assume a singular form. In (3) we need to replace the adjective ABYSMAL with the adverb ABYSMALLY as an adjective cannot qualify another adjective LOW. Thus, (a) is the right answer.
