Correct Answer:
beside
Solution : The correct answer is option 3
Explanation:
- - We use across as both a preposition and an adverb (adv).
- - Across refers to being on the other side of something, or moving from one side to the other of something with sides or limitations, such as a city, road, or river.
- - We use over as a preposition and an adverb to indicate to something that is higher than something else, which may involve movement from one side to the other.
- - The preposition beside implies 'at the side of' or 'next to'.
- - Besides is a preposition or connecting adverb that signifies 'in addition to' or 'also'.
- - As a result, to make the statement grammatically correct, the preposition 'beside' should be employed.
- - As a result, the right answer is 'beside'.
