Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The error lies in the first part because "a mistake" should be replaced with "mistake" to convey the intended meaning that Ankit accidentally caught Archana's hand.
When we want to describe something as accidental, we typically use the phrase "It was a mistake" or "by mistake". However, combining both "by" and "a mistake" in this context makes an error due to the addition of the article "a".
Therefore, the correct sentence is " It was by mistake that Ankit caught Archana's hand".
