Correct Answer: 3


Solution : The error lies in the third option .

"Found" is the past form of "find," which means an act of locating something, whereas "discover" means to find or uncover something that was previously unknown or hidden and is often associated with a sense of surprise. Thus, "found" is the appropriate word choice in the sentence according to the context of the sentence, as the sentence talks about the act of finding the girl's body.

Therefore, the correct sentence is "The decapitated body of a young girl was found yesterday ".
