Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: lately
Solution : The error lies in the third option.
The term lately is an adverb used to describe actions that have happened recently. However, in this sentence, the intended meaning is to convey that Riya arrived at the train station after the expected or planned time. The correct term to use in this context is late, which is an adjective indicating a delay in arrival.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Riya arrived at the train station late."
