Correct Answer: Once I run in


Solution : The error lies in the first option .

Explanation:

The error lies in the verb tense inconsistency. The correct past tense form should be used for the entire action. "Once I run in" contains a verb tense inconsistency. The use of "once" suggests a specific point in the past, so the past tense should be consistent throughout. The correct past tense form of the verb "run" is "ran". Thus, it should be "Once I ran in".

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Once I ran in the Sonoran Desert in Arizona after a huge rain event.
