Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence.
The gerund "being" requires a possessive pronoun before it. In this case, the possessive pronoun should be "my".
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Due to my being new to the city, I had difficulty in finding a job."
