Answer with Explanation

Ans (3): Experts note that these were large spontaneous mobilizations, promoted by Spanish-language media

There is no error in (3). The errors in other sentences are as follows.

Error in (1): ‘has’ or ‘had’, not ‘have’ - ‘bill’ is singular, hence ‘has’ is the right word. If the sentence was set in the past tense, ‘have’ will be replaced by ‘had’.

Error in (2): ‘immigrants’, not ‘immigrant’ -- a single immigrant will not hold marches, hence the plural noun is required.

Error in (4):  ‘large’, not ‘largely’ - ‘largely’ is an adverb, while we need an adjective to qualify the noun ‘crowds’
