Correct Answer: village from


Solution : The second option is correct.

  • The preposition "from" is used to indicate the source or origin of something.
  • In the given sentence, the sea wall protected the village from the waves, indicating that the waves were the source of danger.
  • Using ' in ' would imply that the village was already in the waves, which is not the intended meaning.

Therefore, the correct answer is village from .
