Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
The sentence talks about an event in the past denoted by the part "the lights suddenly went out", so it should use the simple past tense. Thus, "is" should be replaced with "was" to maintain the tense consistency in the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The inaugural function was temporarily interrupted as the lights suddenly went out."
