Correct Answer: 1


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

"Me and my wife" should be corrected to "My wife and I".

The correction follows the rule of using pronouns correctly in a sentence. When referring to oneself along with someone else, the first-person pronoun ("I") should come in the last position.

This correction ensures proper grammatical structure as per the order of pronouns i.e. 2,3,1.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "My wife and I were at home last night."
