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'.
