3. The alien's use of a fraudulent document was a hindrance to the identification of the alien.

4. The alien's use of a fraudelent document was a hindrance to the identification of the alien.

The correct answer is: The alien's use of a fraudulent document was a hindrance to the identification of the alien.

The choice that stands out as correctly constructed is the one that utilizes "fraudulent" as the correct spelling for the term that describes the deceptive nature of the document. Additionally, "hindrance" is accurately spelled, reflecting the correct meaning that the use of such a document obstructed or impeded the process of identifying the alien. The term "fraudulent" specifically refers to something that is intended to deceive, particularly in the context of legal or official documents. Thus, describing the document as fraudulent emphasizes its illegitimacy and the complications it introduces during identification. Using "hindrance" appropriately indicates that the process of identification was made more difficult due to the alien's actions. The structure of the sentence is grammatically sound, and it conveys a clear meaning regarding the implications of using improper documentation. In summary, this option is coherent, employs correct vocabulary, has proper spelling, and accurately conveys the intended message about the impact of fraudulent documentation on identification processes.
