Explanation:

- Let’s break it down:

- Part 1: “Mr. Gupta with his wife” – Here’s the thing: this is the main subject. "With" is not the same as "and." "With his wife" is just extra info, the subject is just Mr. Gupta.

- Part 2: “and younger brother” – Same deal. “And younger brother” is additional information attached to Mr. Gupta, not a separate subject. The whole phrase is still about Mr. Gupta.

- Part 3: “were present at the station.” – Here’s where the problem is. Since the subject is actually singular (Mr. Gupta), the verb should be “was,” not “were.”

- Part 4: “No Error” – Well, there is an error, so this isn’t it.

- Option 3 is the correct choice because that’s where the verb mismatch happens.

- The sentence should go: “Mr. Gupta, with his wife and younger brother, was present at the station.”

Option:3, 3
