Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
The preposition by should be replaced with on to make the sentence correct . On is used when talking about actions involving body parts, whereas "by" is more commonly used when we talk about means of transport.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: He walked ten miles on foot .
