Answer 1

The correct answer is: "Robert come to clean the stable."

Key Points

The part of the sentence that contains the error is "Robert come to clean the stable."
The verb "come" is in the present tense, whereas it should be in the past tense "came" to match the past tense of "behaved."
It should be corrected to "Robert came to clean the stable."
The verb "come" should be changed to "came" to maintain proper verb tense consistency.
"Came" is the past tense of the verb "come" and is appropriate in this context, indicating the action that occurred when Robert came to clean the stable in the past.
The correct sentence should be "All the horses, except one, always behaved in a rough manner when Robert came to clean the stable."

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
