Raja Rammohan Roy was greatly pained when he heard the cries of ....... ?
- widows being burnt on their husband's pyres.
- the widows being burnt on their husband's pyres.
- widows being burnt on their husbands' pyres.
- the widows being burnt on their husbands' pyres.
Which out of four options is correct here ?
Personally I think 4th option is the best as widows is a noun we need an article with it and since we are referring to specific widows ( who are being burned) the article will fit and since widows is plural so I think husbands' is better than husband's. Am I correct ?
