The correct answer is 'No error'.
Explanation & Key Takeaways:
• The phrase "Before diving into the river" is a dependent clause presenting a scenario or condition that has to occur first.
• This clause is followed by a comma, which is the correct punctuation in this context. It is known as a complex sentence where the dependent clause or subordinate clause comes before the independent clause.
• "He stopped for a moment" is the main clause or independent clause that represents a complete thought or action.
• "And looked back" is a coordinating clause, connected to the independent clause by the coordinating conjunction "and".
• Each segment of the sentence is thus grammatically correct.
Therefore, the correct answer is "option 1".
