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.
