Saw THE evidence ???

Question:
DIRECTIONS: In the following questions, some of the sentences have errors and some have none. Find out which part of a sentence has an error. If there is no error; mark your answer as ‘No error'.

Before the millionaire saw (a)/ evidence of his new wife’s (b)/ profligate spending, (c)/ he quickly filed for a divorce. (d)/ No error (e)

Options:
A) (a)
B) (b)
C) (c)
D) (d)
E) (e)
Solution:
Ans: (a) It should be ‘After the millionaire saw’.
It was after seeing the evidence of his wife's profligate spending that he filed for a divorce. How can something be done in advance which is an outcome of the action prior to seeing a thing. So, use of before would absolutely distort the meaning
