Correct Answer: (4)
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option "No improvement".
"Threshold" is the correct word in the sentence as it is a strip of wood or stone forming the bottom of a doorway that is crossed when entering a house or room.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- Entrance : It suggests the general concept of entering a place but may not capture the specific area where the talisman or lucky charm is placed.
- Opening : It can refer to any kind of opening, not necessarily the entrance to a building.
- Doorway : It refers to the entire opening into a building or room where the door is located.
