Correct Answer: (3)


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

The phrase "may not crossed" is incorrect due to the wrong use of the tense form. In this case, the action of seeing the car happened before the action of crossing the road. Hence, the correct verb form is "would not have crossed" as per the third conditional.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "If she had seen the car coming, she would not have crossed the road."
