Correct Answer: (3)


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

The verb prevent should be followed by the gerund form and not the infinitive form "to go" to make the sentence grammatically accurate and convey the intended meaning that the teacher didn't let the students go there.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: The teacher prevented the boys from going there.
