Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The error lies in part (1) of the sentence. The adverb 'Needlessly' is incorrectly used here. The correct idiomatic phrase is "Needless to say", which means 'it is self-evident' or 'obviously'. Therefore, 'Needlessly' must be replaced with the adjective 'Needless' to make the sentence grammatically correct.
