A
(3)
💡 Explanation:
Here, ‘3’ is the correct option as part (3) of the sentence has the error. Here, both the events, the exam and the movie, happened in the past. Thus, according to the rule of grammar, both verbs should be in the past tense. 'Had finished' is in past perfect, but 'would go' is not. So, the correct usage should be 'went', instead of 'would go'.
