Correct Answer: nearer the end.


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation : The segment nearer the end contains a grammatical error. The correct form of the comparative adjective close is closer . When expressing proximity, the standard structure is closer to rather than nearer . Comparative adjectives, such as closer , are used to compare two things.

So, the correct sentence would be: Eddie just panics when it gets closer to the end.
