    Solution

    The error is a misuse of a common prepositional phrase in part B: • Error: "...and beside the first time in months," • The word "beside" means next to or alongside. • Correction: The intended phrase is "for the first time," which uses the preposition for to indicate a duration or a specific instance in time. The corrected sentence would read: • "As the train curved along the misty hillside, the distant hum of the city faded into a tranquil silence, and for the first time in months, he felt a quiet clarity settle deep within him, reminding him of everything he had almost forgotten to appreciate."
