Option 1: and swiftly left for work
Option 2: He took a hurried glance
Option 3: on the newspaper
Option 4: No Error
Correct Answer: on the newspaper
Solution : The error lies in the third option.
Explanation:
The error lies in the preposition used in the phrase "on the newspaper". The correct preposition to use with the verb glance is at rather than on. The preposition at is more appropriate when referring to looking at or taking a glance at something.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: He took a hurried glance at the newspaper and swiftly left for work.
