Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence.
The phrase "does not hardly know" is grammatically incorrect as hardly is already a negative adverb. "Not" should be omitted from the sentence to avoid double negatives in the sentence. Consequently, "does not hardly know" should be replaced with "hardly knows".
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Mother hardly knows what happened in school yesterday."
