Correct Answer: Far, far at the top of them,


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation : The phrase "far, far at the top of them" is awkwardly placed and disrupts the overall coherence of the sentence. This placement can confuse the reader, and it's more appropriate to rephrase the sentence for clarity and better flow. In English, adverbs and phrases indicating a location are usually placed at the beginning or end of a sentence for smoother readability.

So, the correct sentence would be: Far, far above them , a shower of bright red sparks had flared among the stars.
