Correct Answer: 1
Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence as taken by surprise is the right idiomatic expression, which means something occurred unexpectedly and should be used in place of taken with surprise, which does not make any sense. Here it means that the person was amazed to see the Taj Mahal.
Therefore the correct sentence should be "I was taken by surprise when I saw the beautiful Taj Mahal."
