The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The phrase "Twas taken with surprise" contains an error in modern English usage.
"Twas" is a poetic or archaic contraction of "It was," and its use is not appropriate in everyday language.
In modern English, we would say "It was taken by surprise" or "He/She was taken by surprise," not "Twas taken with surprise."
Thus, the correct part of the sentence is "(1) Twas taken with surprise."
