In the given sentence, a group of words has been underlined. Pick out the one which can substitute the underlined group of words correctly, without changing the meaning of the sentence.

All of the candidates except Manindra and I intends on choosing cricket as hobby.

Option C is the correct option.

The original sentence contains an error in the subject-verb agreement. The correct form should be “intend” (plural) instead of “intends” (singular) because the subject “candidates” is plural.

Additionally, the pronoun “I” should be replaced with the objective form “me” in this context.

So the revised sentence would be: “All of the candidates except Manindra and me intend to choose cricket as a hobby.
