Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence.
The word "said" should be replaced with "told". "Said" is used in the direct speech and usually focuses on the words said by someone, while "tell" focuses more on the content of what someone said. Thus, the past form of the verb, that is, "told" is the appropriate word for the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "She told a number of lies and left without completing her work."
