Correct Answer: (4)


Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.

The correct structure should be were opposed to using instead of were opposed to used. When expressing opposition to an action, we typically use the gerund form (-ing form) of the verb.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "Some members of the committee were opposed to using the club members' money to redecorate the meeting hall".
