Correct Answer: after a driver


Solution : The correct option is the fourth option.

Explanation : The preposition "after" is the most suitable choice in this context, indicating the sequence of events. The sentence implies that the driver's action of flashing headlights occurred before the man lost his temper. The use of "after" appropriately connects the two segments of the sentence and maintains the chronological order of events.

So, the correct sentence would be: "He lost his temper after a driver flashed his headlights as he overtook."
