Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
The verb "is" should be replaced with "was" in order to make the sentence obey the past tense rule. Since the reporting verb "said" is in the past tense, the verbs in the reported speech should also be in the past tense to maintain tense consistency.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: He said that it was the first time that such a trick was discovered.
