Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

The error was in the use of, "in" instead of "into".

"Jumped into the river" is the correct phrase to indicate the action of entering the river, which involves motion.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The beautiful, young girl jumped into the river in a state of depression.
