Explanation:

- Part A: "She could not keep back her tears," - This part is grammatically correct.

- Part B: "and the chief cause of her" - This part is also correct and doesn’t contain an error.

- Part C: "pain seemed to be the fear lest" - The use of "lest" often implies "should," so it's grammatically consistent, and it doesn't contain an error.

- Part D: "people shall doubt her truthfulness." - In standard English, when using "lest," it should be followed by "should" (e.g., "lest people should doubt"). The correct phrasing should be "lest people doubt her truthfulness," removing "shall."

- Option 5: No error - This option is incorrect as there is an error in Part D.

The correct answer: Option 4: D
