Question : Directions: In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative that will improve the bracketed part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select "No Improvement".
It will take four hours to walk (across) the caves.
(1) over
(2) through
(3) between
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: 1
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
The preposition across should be replaced with through which is the suitable preposition to be used in this context.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- Across implies moving from side to side.
- Over means upon something or the end of something.
- Between implies a space or distance between two things, which is not the correct preposition to be used in the context.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "It will take four hours to walk through the caves."
