Solution
The correct option is C C
It will be 'and hoped that it would be completed' instead of 'and was hoped'. Here the act of hoping is done by the Chief Minister herself, so it needs to be put in active voice. Hence, the error is in part C. There isn't any error in parts A, B and D. E cannot be correct as the sentence contains an error.
