Option 4: the last time
Correct Answer: held at 2017
Solution : The correct option will be the third option.
The phrase
held at 2017
is grammatically incorrect. When talking about the time an event took place, the preposition
at
is not used directly with a year. Instead, the correct structure is,
held in 2017
.
The corrected version uses the preposition
in
to indicate the year the competition took place.
