Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The first option is the correct answer.

The original sentence has a tense inconsistency. The phrase "looking back" indicates a past perspective or reflection, suggesting that the realisation occurred in the past. Therefore, the past tense "was" should be used to maintain tense consistency.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Looking back, I realised I was wrong.
