Explanation
Only sentence 2 is correct. Sentence 1 wrongly uses “isle” (island) where “aisle” (the passage between seats) is needed in an aeroplane. Sentence 2 correctly uses “ale” for the drink ginger ale. Sentence 3 wrongly uses “aisle” where “isle” (a small island in a lake) is needed. Hence only sentence 2 is right: (b).
