Correct Answer: 3
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
Explanation:
The phrase "when to hear" is not grammatically correct in this context. "When" implies a specific time or condition which disrupts the flow of the sentence. Instead, the sentence should express the travellers' pacification upon hearing about the plane's early landing. Removing "when" and leaving only "to hear" creates a more cohesive sentence structure.
The correct sentence should be: "The travellers were pacified to hear that the plane had landed on the runway much before the official announcement."
