The correct answer is: Sita spotted golden

Key Points

  • The error in the original sentence is the use of no article before "golden deer."
  • This is because "golden deer" is a specific noun, meaning that it refers to a particular deer.
  • Therefore, the definite article "the" should be used.
  • The correct sentence should be: "Sita spotted the golden deer and requested Rama to capture it."
  • Adding the article "the" before "golden deer" makes the sentence grammatically correct and enhances its clarity.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
