Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
The phrase "on their going" should be replaced with "in going", as "persisted in" means to do something with having no intention to stop. This helps in conveying the intended meaning that they did not stop going in spite of the rain.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: They persisted in going in spite of rain.
