Correct Answer: (1)


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

Explanation : The article "an" is used before words that start with a vowel sound, while the article "a" is used before words that start with a consonant sound. In this case, "miserable" starts with the consonant sound, so "a" should be used instead of "an".

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "She had a miserable existence living with him."
