I agree.
The correct correction to the sentence should be:
2) change "exists" to "existed"
Explanation:
The original sentence states that "No adequate dictionary of the entire English language exists untill the middle of the eighteenth century." However, the use of the present tense verb "exists" is incorrect because the sentence is referring to a time period in the past. The word "existed" should be used instead to indicate that a dictionary was not in existence until the middle of the eighteenth century.
