    A I was surprised Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B when the hostess smiled Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C as if she saw me before Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D No Error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Replace ā€˜she saw me before’ with ā€˜she had seen me before’. Before is qualified by ā€˜Perfect Tense’. Here the sentence begins in Past Indefinite Tense, hence ā€˜before’ will take ā€˜Past Perfect Tense’ with it. Moreover, in case of two activities of the past, the one occurred earlier takes ā€˜Past Perfect Tense’. Hence option C has the error.
