Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select "No Error".

Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
The error is in the use of "said", which should be replaced with "told". In the reported speech, we use "told" to indicate that someone communicated information to another person.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: My friends told me that he was unable to come.
