Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: It being a hot
Solution : The third option is the correct answer.
The underlined segment being a hot is grammatically incorrect. The reason for the correct answer is that the phrase it being a hot introduces a subject (it) and a gerund (being) to form a grammatically correct construction. It functions as an introductory phrase in the sentence. It is a participial phrase that provides additional information about the circumstances under which the action in the main clause took place.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: " It being a hot and busy day, I felt tired and decided to retire early."
