Correct Answer: (2)


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

" He ordered for " should be changed to "he ordered ". The use of the preposition "for" is superfluous, as order, when used as a verb itself means to ask for something to eat or drink in a restaurant, bar, or hotel.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Entering the hotel, he ordered a drink and a sumptuous dinner.
