- If we want to use a verb after a preposition, it must be in -ing form. It is impossible to use an infinitive after a preposition.
- Here in the given sentence, it is used in this way: "Preposition (after) + verb (see) + ing"
- An adverb is a word that modifies a verb. In this sentence "quietly" describes the manner of stepping up.
- "Step up" is a phrasal verb that means to come forward for a particular purpose.
- As the sentence is written in the past tense, the past of "step" i.e "stepped" is used here.
- So, the sentence is both grammatically and conceptually correct.
Hence, the correct answer is option 4 (No error).
