Solution
The correct option is B B
It will be 'surprised at' instead of 'surprised by'. Thus, the error is in part B. The preposition 'at' follows surprised when we consider a situation where someone gets surprised to witness something he didn't expect. There is no error in parts A, C and D. The answer cannot be E as part B contains an error.
