Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

Explanation : The error is in the verb tense. The verb "begin" in the second part should be in the past tense to maintain grammatical consistency with the past tense verb "came" in the first part. Therefore, it should be "began" instead of "begin" to convey the sequence of actions in the past.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "They came here in the evening and began making further arrangements."
