Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the third option.
The original sentence contains a verb-tense error. The verb form loses should be replaced with lost to maintain the correct sequence of tenses. In this case, simple past tense should be used to convey the intended meaning of the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "When the little girl lost her doll, she began to cry."
