Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.

Here, ''kill'' should be replaced with ''killed'' as per parallelism with respect to passive voice, to be parallel to the verb "robbed".

Therefore, the correct sentence is "Every day we hear about senior citizens being robbed and even killed in cold blood".
