Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
Explanation: The correct preposition to use when referring to a specific time, such as morning, afternoon, or evening is "in". Therefore, it should be "in the afternoon" rather than "at the afternoon". However, when specifying the exact time the preposition "at" is appropriate.
The correct sentence should be: "The building collapsed in the afternoon at about 4 o'clock."
