Option 1 : A
The error lies in part A of the sentence. Hence, the answer is option 1.
The phrase 'kept emphasis on' is grammatically incorrect because we generally use the verb 'keep' for physical objects and not abstract nouns like 'emphasis'. The correct verb to be used is 'placed' and the phrase then becomes 'placed emphasis on' which means 'gave importance to'.
Thus, the correct sentence is, 'The professor placed a lot of emphasis on being punctual and sincere'.
