Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence.
The word "were" should be replaced with "where" to convey the intended meaning to indicate the location where Buddha was cremated. The relative pronoun "where" is used to denote a location or a place while "were" is an auxiliary verb that is used incorrectly in the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "The place where Buddha was cremated has recently been discovered."
