Correct Answer: unfortunate events


Solution : The first option is the correct answer.

The original sentence is grammatically incorrect and awkwardly phrased. The word "some" is unnecessary and incorrect in this context. The word "spate" means a large number of similar things coming in quick succession. "Unfortunate" is an adjective that means something that is unlucky, regrettable, or marked by adversity or bad luck. "Unfortunately" is an adverb used to introduce a statement that conveys disappointment, sorrow, or regret about something unfortunate.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "There has been a spate of unfortunate events in Madurai."
