Correct Answer: so then


Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.

Explanation:
The error lies in the redundancy of using both "so" and "then" to indicate the cause-and-effect relationship. These words are often used interchangeably in this context, and using both is unnecessary.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: I left my village so that I could earn more money in the city.
