Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. No error.
The subject "Everyone" is followed by the verb "was surprised," and the prepositional phrase "at his indefatigable courage and determination" appropriately modifies the verb "surprised" by indicating the reason for the surprise.
Additionally, the infinitive phrase "to achieve what he desired" serves as an adverbial phrase modifying the noun "determination" and provides further information about its purpose.
Therefore, all parts of the sentence are grammatically sound, and there is no error present.
