Correct Answer: in the back of the theatre


Solution : The third option is the correct choice.

  • Here, we would replace the preposition "in" with "at" to correct the sentence.
  • "At" is used when you are at the top, bottom, or end of something; at a specific address; at a general location; and at a point.
  • "In" is used for larger places.
  • Therefore, "at" should be used.

So, the correct sentence is: "As I was sitting at the back of the theatre, I couldn't see the performance very well."
