Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: how getting to
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
Explanation : The segment "how getting to" contains an error. We don't use the present participle form of the verb after "how". The basic rule is to use the regular verb after "how" or to use a preposition (to) in the case of an irregular verb. "Get to" is a phrasal verb, which means to arrive somewhere. So, how to get should be used in the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "He didn't know how to get to the guest house, so he stopped to ask the way."
