Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: I never expect
Solution : The error lies in the third option.
The error lies in the use of the present tense "expect" instead of the past tense "expected". Since the speaker is referring to a past event (seeing a childhood friend after many years), the verb should be in the past tense to maintain grammatical consistency.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "What a surprise! I never expected to see my childhood friend after so many years."
