Correct Answer: (2)


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

In this sentence, "because" is not required as, reason and because cannot be used together. So, "because she'd been told" should be changed to "that she'd been told" to make the sentence grammatically correct.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The reason Janet came dressed as Lady Gaga was that she'd been told it was a costume party."
