Correct Answer: 1


Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence.


In first part, the verb "used" should be in the past tense to maintain tense consistency with the phrase "to go out," which is also in the past tense. The correct past tense form of "use" in this context is "used ." So, the sentence should be in the past tense

The correct sentence should be: "I used to go out to work earlier."
