Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is: "George handing the".
Key Points
- The error in the sentence is in the segment "George handing the."
- The sentence is describing an action in the past, which is George handing a hairpin to Ron.
- To convey this action in the correct past tense, the verb should be "handed" (past tense), not "handing" (present participle).
- Therefore, the error is in the use of the present participle "handing" when it should be the past tense "handed."
- The correct sentence should be: "George handed the hairpin to Ron, a moment later."
Therefore, the correct answer is option 1.
