The erroneous part of the sentence is: "interfere in"

Key Points

  • The word "had" is a past tense auxiliary verb.
  • In this sentence, "interfered" is the past participle form of the verb "interfere," which means to become involved in a situation or activity that affects it in a negative way.
  • The verb "interfere" always takes the preposition 'with' after it.
  • So, the correct verb form should be "interfere with", not "interfere in".
  • The error is in the preposition used after "interfere".
  • The correct sentence would be "Sajni had interfered with this matter."

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1.

Additional Information

  • "No error" is not the correct answer as there is an error in the sentence.
  • "this matter" is not an error as it is a correct noun phrase.
  • "Sajni had" is not an error as it is a correct subject-verb construction.
