Option 3 : (C)
The correct answer is option 3.
- Whomsoever is an object pronoun and works like him, her and them.
- Whosoever is a subject pronoun and works like he, she and they.
- The given sentence states that the subject 'him', has set apart one evening of each week if anyone chose to visit him.
- In such sentences we always say if they/he/she chose to visit him and not if them/him/her chose to visit him.
- So, we must use 'whosoever' to maintain the subject-verb agreement.
- Therefore, the error lies in part C of the sentence.
The correct sentence will be: One evening of each week was set apart by him for the reception of whosoever chose to visit him.
