Answer 1

The correct answer is 'B'.

Key Points

Segment A, "Aniket lives," is grammatically correct. It has a proper subject-verb agreement.
Segment B, "in the small apartment," contains a minor article usage error. The correct usage should be "in a small apartment" since a specific apartment is not being referred to previously within a given context. We generally use 'the' when we are referring to specific things or instances that both the speaker and listener are aware of.
Segment C, "in the suburbs," is grammatically correct as the usage of "in" is appropriate for indicating location.
Therefore, the segment containing the error is B.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: 'Aniket lives in a small apartment in the suburbs'.
