- No Error
- and easy to understand that it hardly
- took five minutes for us to grasp it
- The process was too simple
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 4
Solution : The error lies in the fourth option "The process was too simple."
"Too" and "so" are both intensifying adverbs that have the meaning of "very" or "a lot", but they differ in their usages. "Too" is used for negative cases, whereas "so" is used for positive cases. Hence, "too" should be replaced with "so" in the sentence to convey the intended meaning that the process was very simple and easy to understand.
Therefore, the correct sentence is "The process was so simple and easy to understand that it hardly took five minutes for us to grasp it".
