Detailed Solution

●        The typical word order in a sentence in English is subject + verb + object. The action (verb) is carried out by the subject, and the object is the recipient of that action.
●        The verb "turned and saw" should come after the object "that someone had been following her," which is how it is written in the example. As a result, the statement needs to be changed, and option 1 is untrue.
●        Option 2 is appropriate as the sentence uses the traditional subject + verb + object word sequence (She turned and saw) (that someone...).
●        Because the words appear in the following order rather than the proper one, Option 3 is incorrect: part of verb + subject + part of verb + object.
●        Due to the sentence's incoherence, Option 4 is erroneous.
