Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: coming by
Solution : The third option is the correct choice.
Explanation : We would replace "by" with "from" to make the sentence correct. "By" is used to refer next to something, beside, or near, while "from" is used to refer to a place where something or someone is located. In the given context, we are referring to the garbage. The implied meaning of the sentence is that the rubbish bin was emitting an awful scent that was almost intolerable.
Hence, the correct sentence is: "The foul smell coming from the nearby garbage bin was really unbearable."
