Correct Answer: (2)


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

" Engaged tone " should be preceded by the indefinite article "an" to indicate that it is referring to one of the several possible engaged tones that someone might hear. Moreover, the article "an" is used with words starting with a vowel sound.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "If you hear an engaged tone , replace the receiver and dial again."
