Correct Answer: (2)


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

The word continual means happening frequently or regularly at short intervals. However, in this context, it would be more appropriate to use the word continuous, which means happening without interruption.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: He was not able to concentrate because of the continuous music being played next door.
