Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: for every town
Solution : The error lies in the second option.
In this context, "for" is not the appropriate preposition to convey the intended meaning. The sentence aims to express that the migrating labourers were served hot meals when they arrived in each town or village along their journey. The preposition "at" is commonly used to indicate a specific location or point in space, which aligns with the meaning intended here.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "The migrating labourers were served hot meals at every town or village on their way."
