Correct Answer: a place you recommended


Solution : The error lies in the third option .

The phrase, "a place you recommended" should be replaced with "a place you had recommended me" as the use of past perfect tense denotes the action that happened earlier than the other.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "I brought an apple from a place you had recommended me earlier ."
