Answer : 2
Explanation : The adverb ‘only’ has been wrongly placed in the sentence. The adverb needs to be placed after the verb ‘could eat’ so as not to disturb the structure of the verb and yet modify it. ‘Could only eat’ means he could perform only one action that is eating raw food. It is clearly not what the sentence wants to suggest. ‘Could eat only’ suggests that he could not eat anything other than raw food. Thus the error is in the second part of the sentence.
