Question : Select the most appropriate option to substitute the bracketed segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select 'No substitution required'.
(Beside myself, the only English people) there were Keith and Doreen.
Option 1: Besides I, the only English speaking people
Option 2: No substitution required
Option 3: Besides myself, the only English people
Option 4: Beside me, the only English people
Correct Answer: Besides myself, the only English people
Solution : The third option is the correct answer.
"Beside" should be replaced with "besides" to convey the intended meaning. "Besides" is used to mean "in addition to" or "apart from," whereas "beside" is commonly used to indicate the location of someone or something in relation to another, suggesting closeness or proximity.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: " Besides myself, the only English people there were Keith and Doreen."
