Correct Answer: (2)


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

The verb hasn't should be replaced with hadn't, as the past perfect tense is used to show an action that happened earlier than the other action in the past.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Did he tell you why he hadn't come yesterday?"
