Correct Answer:
1
Solution : The error is in the first part of the sentence.
The verb "succeeded" should be followed by the preposition "in" when used with the gerund form of the verb, which is "persuading" in this case.
So, the correct sentence should be: "I succeeded in persuading him to come with me only after hours of argument."
