Correct Answer: at our colony


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

The given sentence is grammatically incorrect. Here, "in our colony" should be used instead of "at our colony". The preposition "in" is used to refer to a place inside or to a position inside a particular area or object.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "A businessman in our colony was found COVID-positive."
