Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
The word "below" should be replaced with "under" to convey the intended meaning that the traveller had taken rest in the shade of the large peepal tree. The preposition "under" is used to indicate that something is covered by something, which is the intended meaning of the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The traveller took rest under the shade of a large Peepal tree."
