Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.
The word will should not be used in the subordinate clause that follows the word until. When until is used to express that an action or event will happen only after another action or event has occurred, the subordinate clause uses the simple present tense and not the future tense. Thus, blows the whistle should replace will blow the whistle.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: The train will not start until the guard blows the whistle .
