Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The error lies in the first option.
The sentence describes two events that happened in the past. Here, both clauses must be in the past tense. Thus, "appearing" should be replaced with "appeared", as " spread" is also in the past form of "spread".
Therefore, the correct sentence is " The full moon appeared in the sky, and its silvery light spread across".
