Correct Answer: at the valley


Solution : The error lies in the second option .

The correct preposition of place to be used is in place of at to make the sentence grammatically accurate.

In is generally used for larger, more general locations or areas, such as countries or cities, while at is used to indicate a specific point or location within a larger area or space.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "After two months the phone signals were back in the valley".
