Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The correct choice is the first option .

The preposition "off" should be replaced by the preposition "of". "Off" is usually used to show disconnection of any sort. The correct preposition to be used in this case is "of", which shows the intended meaning of the sentence, i.e., thoughts regarding politics came to his mind while he was studying intermediate and that the person had no fear in politics.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: He said that he thought of politics right when he was studying intermediate and that he had no fear of politics.
