Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
It is an error of conjunction. In this sentence, A s soon after the player arrived should be replaced with soon after the players arrived. This alternative provides the correct past tense form (arrived) and maintains the clarity and flow of the sentence. It accurately reflects the sequence of events.
So, the correct sentence is: Soon after the players arrived in decorated cars, the ceremony began with traditional African drummers and dancers blowing conch shells.
