New: SSC Stenographer Application Form 2024 Released
Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: No substitution
Solution : The correct answer is the second option.
Explanation
: In this sentence, the phrase
under control
is an idiomatic expression that means the situation is being managed or regulated effectively. The options
beneath
,
beside,
and
below
do not convey the same meaning in the given context.
Beneath
generally means under or below, but it doesn't capture the sense of control.
Beside
means next to, and
below
also implies a lower position without specifically conveying the idea of control. Hence, no substitution is needed, and the original phrase
under control
accurately conveys the intended meaning.
Therefore, the correct sentence remains: The situation in the city is now fully under control.
