Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.

Here, "to" will replace "over" because "to" denotes comparison and, in this case, indicates the preference for Christina's remedies when compared to the doctor's remedies.

Therefore, the correct sentence is "Christina's friends preferred her remedies to the doctor's".
