Correct Answer: in


Solution : Option 3 is the correct option.

Explanation:

  • - In the specified blank, we must use 'in' - 'line up' is a noun phrase that implies 'a succession of items that have been grouped together to be a part of a particular event.
  • After that, pose a question about where they line up, and you must respond with an adverbial phrase.
  • - As a result, in order to form an adverbial phrase, a preposition must be used, so'since and because' are improper. The preposition 'in' is correct in this case.
  • So the correct sentence is- The children were lined up in a queve for some food.
