This is the second time I am seeing a question which has man/men to state a generalised opinion.

the correct Answer gets rid of man/men in the sentence.
E satnds out.

But, what is the actual problem of using man/men??

E rightly conveys the meaning of what author is trying to say.

Arora ji,

I would suggest not wasting time on sources that are not well tested. Try going thru the questions of the known sources. If you use unknown sources you might end up confusing yourself.
