Correct Answer: (3)


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

We need to change the simple past tense "he died" to the past perfect tense "he had died" in the subordinate clause as the event of death occurred before she heard the news.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "She was shocked when she heard the news that he had died ."
