Correct Answer: hard than I thought.


Solution : The error lies in the first option.

Explanation : The correct comparative form of the adjective "hard" is "harder". In this context, a comparison is being made between the difficulty of hearing those words from his mouth and the speaker's initial perception.

So, the corrected sentence would be: "Hearing those words from his mouth was harder than I thought ."
