Answer 1

The correct answer is: most

Key Points

Replace 'much' with 'most' to make the sentence correct.
'Most' denotes the greatest or highest degree, often used with an adjective or adverb to form the superlative.
- Example - Peter is one of the most reliable people on this planet.
Superlative adjectives are used to describe an object which is at the upper or lower limit of quality.
The comparative form of 'much' is 'more', and the superlative form of 'much' is the 'most'.
'Much' means a large amount, while 'most' means the largest amount in comparison with other things.
- Example - I will lend you as much money as you want.
'One of the' is always used with superlatives and it is used when we are referring to someone or something specific among many others.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.

Corrected sentence: Mahatma Gandhi is undoubtedly one of the most popular authors of our times.
