Change ‘very easily’ to ‘more easily’.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

The sentence is in the passive voice so the form (is + third) form of verb will be used. Therefore it must be indicated and not indicate.

It should be ‘a’ in place of ‘an’ in the third part of the sentence.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

Because the sentence begins with No sooner had he come, the right use will be ‘than’ not ‘when’. 'When' is used, when the exact event or time is mentioned directly in the sentence, e.g., He had just come from Mumbai when he was asked to proceed to Delhi.
