Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence because of the incorrect usage of the preposition 'on' which should be replaced with 'up' . The phrasal verb 'Picked up the trail' means to track or discover a physical path left by someone or something. This amendment makes the sentence contextually correct.

Therefore, the correct statement should be "She picked up the trail soon after."
