Correct Answer: In 79 A.D., the Mount Vesuvius blew


Solution : The first option is correct.

The error lies in the use of the before Mount Vesuvius . Generally, we don't use an article before the names of mountains. It should be Mount Vesuvius rather than the Mount Vesuvius .

Therefore, the corrected sentence will start with in 79 A.D., Mount Vesuvius blew.
