Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
''Worked over'' should be replaced with ''worked up'' to convey the intended meaning that it took Jeff several days to gather the courage he needed to return to the house.
''Worked up'' means to develop something with effort, while " work over " means to redo, which is incorrect.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be, "Several days passed before Jeff worked up enough courage to return to the house."
