Correct Answer: (3)


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

The correct preposition to use is "with" when specifying the tool or means used to perform the action. The preposition "with" should replace "by".

With: It is used with the tool or means used to accomplish an action.

By: It can also indicate the means or method, but is often used to express the agent or doer of an action.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "You can open the box with a screwdriver."
