Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: leaving to Australia
Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.
The correct preposition to use after the verb "leaving" in this context is "for" instead of "to". When it's used to indicate going to a destination, the preposition "for" is typically used. The sentence conveys that the action of leaving is directed towards Australia, indicating the destination.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: In about two months, our family will be leaving for Australia to settle there.
