    C.

    D.

    4

    Correct option is A

    Error Explanation:
    · The error is in part (1): "He leans."
    · Correct phrase: "He leaned."
    · Reason:
    · The phrase "to shut the door" suggests a completed action in the past.
    · "Leans" (present tense) does not match the past action.
    · "Leaned" (past tense) correctly fits the sentence.
    Corrected Sentence:
    "He leaned forward to shut the door."
    Grammar Rule:
    · Use past tense for completed actions in the past.
    · Incorrect: "He jumps to catch the ball yesterday."
    · Correct: "He jumped to catch the ball yesterday."
