Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The error is in the second option.

Explanation: In English, when we describe ongoing actions or states, we use the present continuous tense or the past continuous tense.

However, in this sentence, the preposition "at" can be used to indicate that the husband is at his place of work.

The correct sentence should be: "My husband was at work, so I went shopping."
