Correct Answer: as I first


Solution : The error lies in the third option.

Explanation : The word order is awkward, and it interrupts the flow of the sentence. A more grammatically sound construction would be to place "as" at the beginning of the sentence or to rephrase the clause for better coherence. This adjustment enhances the sentence's structure, ensuring a smoother and more natural progression of ideas.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: As I first met you, I can clearly recollect the day.
