Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence.
The error is that the sentence starts in the present tense with "climb" but then shifts to the past tense with "became". This shift in tense disturbs the chronological sequence of events in the sentence.
To maintain tense consistency both the verbs of the sentence should be in simple past tense.
So, the correct sentence should be: "As they climbed higher, the air became cooler."
