Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence.

"At" is usually used to refer to a specific time, but here the author is talking in the general sense. So, "during" is correct, as it conveys the intended meaning, which is that the mountains are usually covered with ice during this time of the year.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: " During this time of the year, mountains are usually covered in ice."
