Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
Let us analyze the sentence components and then identify the correct option:
Sentence: (i) I was disappointed (ii) when I came for seeing you last evening (iii) but could not find you at home.
Analysis of components:
| Component | Analysis |
|---|---|
| Component (i) | "I was disappointed" This is grammatically correct. There is no error here. |
| Component (ii) | "when I came for seeing you last evening" This contains a grammatical error. The correct phrasing should be "when I came to see you last evening" (not "for seeing"). |
| Component (iii) | "but could not find you at home" This is grammatically correct. There is no error here. |
Therefore, the error is only in component (ii) of the sentence.
Hence, the correct option is Option 2.
