Correct Answer: George handing the


Solution : The first option is correct.

  • The error in the sentence is in the segment "George handing the".
  • The sentence describes an action in the past, which is George handing a hairpin to Ron.
  • To convey this action in the correct past tense, the verb should be "handed" (past tense), not "handing" (present participle).

Hence, the correct sentence should be: "George handed the hairpin to Ron, a moment later."
