The erroneous part is 'recall to meet'.

Key Points

  • The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
  • Here, 'recall meeting' should be used instead of 'recall to meet'.
  • Some verbs should be followed by a to-infinitive (e.g., to go), while others require a gerund (e.g., going).
  • Gerunds are derived from verbs. They end in -ing and act as nouns. 
  • In the given sentence the verb 'recall' will be followed by a gerund.
    • Example: You may have difficulty determining the cause of the fire.
  • Thus, the correct answer is Option 3.
     

Correct Sentence: Did you recall meeting her at the party last night?
