Identify the error in the sentence given below having three components marked as (i), (ii), and (iii) :
(i) I was disappointed (ii) when I came for seeing you last evening (iii) but could not find you at home.

(i)

(ii)

(iii)

(ii) and (iii)

Correct Option: 2

(i) - Incorrect. The error isn't in the initial part of the sentence, "I was disappointed when I came,"as this part is grammatically correct.
(ii) - Correct. The error is in the phrase "for seeing you."In English, "to see"is more appropriate after "came."The correct phrase would be "I came to see you."
(iii) - Incorrect. The phrase "but could not find you at home"is correct and appropriately connects the circumstances of the visit and the outcome.
(ii) and (iii) - Incorrect. Only part (ii) contains an error. Part (iii) does not have any grammatical issues.
