Correct Answer: (2)


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

The error lies in the redundancy of using both returned and back together. The verb return itself implies coming back or going back, so the word, back is unnecessary.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: My mother has returned to Delhi a day before yesterday.
