Correct Answer: 3
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence. When talking about a duration of time, we use "for" to indicate how long something lasted. Therefore, it should be "for ten years" instead of "since ten years" to convey the intended meaning.
So, the correct sentence is: "They lived in Arizona for ten years before moving to their present house."
