Correct Answer: (4)
Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.
If it rain should be replaced with if it rained as the sentence is in the past tense. Simple past is used in the conditional clause to make the sentence grammatically accurate as per the reported speech. The sentence conveys that they were told not to go out if it rained.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "We really wanted to go to the park, but we were told not to go out if it rained. "
