Correct Answer: 1


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

We need to use the past perfect tense, i.e., had finished to indicate that the act of finishing the assignment was completed before reaching the wedding. The original sentence suggests a sequence of events, and the past perfect tense is used for the action that happened earlier than the other.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "I had finished my assignment before we reached his wedding with great difficulty because of heavy traffic."
