Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: I lost it
Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.
The word "that" functions as a relative pronoun, introducing the relative clause "that I lost". In this construction, the pronoun "it" is not needed because the clause already refers to the book.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: The book that I lost is too expensive for me to buy now.
