Correct Answer: (3)


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

There is a tense inconsistency in the sentence. The verbs shouted and told are in the past tense, so it is appropriate to use the past tense, did not need to maintain consistency.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: In a very harsh tone, he shouted at his servants and told them that he did not need their services.
