Correct Answer: means free


Solution : The error lies in the third option.

The phrase means free in the original sentence is grammatically incorrect. In English, when expressing the result or consequence of an action, we use the noun form instead of the adjective. The correct noun form in this context is freedom.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Opening the door of the cage means freedom for the bird."
