Output: 4

Program

Here is the program for the same.

package main

import "fmt"

func mostWordsFound(sentences []string) int {
	lenSentences := len(sentences)

	max := 0
	for i := 0; i < lenSentences; i++ {
		countWord := countW(sentences[i])
		if countWord > max {
			max = countWord
		}
	}

	return max
}

func countW(s string) int {

	lenS := len(s)
	numWords := 0

	for i := 0; i < lenS; {
		for i < lenS && string(s[i]) == " " {
			i++
		}

		if i < lenS {
			numWords++
		}

		for i < lenS && string(s[i]) != " " {
			i++
		}
	}

	return numWords
}

func main() {
	output := mostWordsFound([]string{"Hello World", "This is hat"})
	fmt.Println(output)

	output = mostWordsFound([]string{"Hello World", "This is hat", "The cat is brown"})
	fmt.Println(output)
}
