Correct Answer: (4)
Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.
The sentence can be improved by using the word "found" in place of "discovered." Discovered is used when we find information or some object for the first time, whereas "found" is used when we find something that is being searched for. In this case,found is used for the body of a young girl.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "The decapitated body of a young girl was found yesterday."
