Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.

The conjunction that should be used after the noun clause ("it was fortunate") to introduce the other clause in the sentence. Also, the use of the preposition "of" is not required and thus should be omitted to make the sentence grammatically accurate.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: It was fortunate that all the inmates escaped from the blazing fire.
