Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. They come to me.
The error in the sentence is the verb tense. In this context, "yesterday" indicates that the action occurred in the past, so the verb tense should be past tense. However, the verb "come" is in the present tense. To correct this, use "came" to match the past time frame:
Corrected Sentence: "They came to me yesterday to convince me to settle the issue with my rival."
