Correct Answer: began writing on
Solution : The error lies in the third option.
Explanation: The correct past participle of the verb begin is begun. However, in this context, the sentence is in the past tense, and the correct structure should be "Michael nodded and began writing at his pad." The verb "began" is the correct past tense form to use in this construction.
So, the correct sentence would be: "Michael nodded and began writing on his pad."
