Correct Answer: (2)


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

The phrase "she did" should be replaced with "did she" to convey the intended meaning that Ritika refused to help her friend in any possible way. To maintain the correct form of the negative sentence, the auxiliary verb "did" is used before the pronoun "she" as per the law of inversion because nor is followed by the inverted clause.

Therefore, the correct statement should be: "Ritika gave her friend no money nor did she help her in any way."
