Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
It should be "meeting" in place of "meetings". The reason for the correction is that when referring to a specific meeting, it should be singular, as you typically adjourn a single meeting at a time.
So, the correct sentence should be: Owing to the disturbing noise, the speaker was forced to adjourn the meeting.
