Correct Answer: Walking
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
Explanation : The error lies in the lack of a connecting word or phrase to show the relationship between the two actions. The sentence structure implies a connection between "walking on the road" and "a rickshaw hit him" without proper cohesion. In the given sentence, no subject is being discussed.
To rectify this, the sentence needs conjunction or restructuring to create a clear cause-and-effect relationship.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "While walking on the road, a rickshaw hit him."
