(A) By the time
(B) myself
(C) all
(D) been sold
(E) No error

答案和解析

答案：B

解析：

The error in this sentence occurs at (B), where there is improper pronoun use. The reflexive pronoun "myself" is used incorrectly. The first-person singular pronoun "I" is needed instead so that the sentence communicates clearly that two people "got to the box office." ("Mitzie...got to the box office" and "I got to the box office")
