A
(3)
💡 Explanation:
Here, ‘3’ is the correct option as part (3) of the sentence has the error. The sentence has no subject–verb agreement. Here, the subject is singular but the verb is plural. The accompanying phrase “along with her mother and friends” does not alter the grammatical relation between the subject (the girl) and the verb (are going). Thus, the correct singular verb should be 'is going'.
