Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The correct sentence, both grammatically and in terms of the meaning it conveys, is: "Not many people know the truth about the lifestyles of the rich and famous." Here's why:

• The phrase "know" agrees with the plural subject "Not many people." In English, subject-verb agreement requires that a plural subject be paired with a plural verb.
• The noun "lifestyles" is correctly pluralized to match the diverse ways of living that are being referred to, in contrast to "lifestyle" which indicates a singular way of living.
• The expression "the lifestyles of the rich and famous" is a standard phrase in English, meaning it refers to the various ways that rich and famous people live, conveying both grammatical and contextual accuracy.
• The correct use of articles "the" before "rich" and "famous" provides specificity, indicating particular rich and famous individuals.
