Correct Answer: different to what


Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.

The correct preposition to use after different in this context is from, not to.

In the context of comparisons, from is typically used after the adjective different to indicate the source or starting point of the difference, whereas to is often used to indicate direction or movement towards a place.

Correct sentence: The city turned out to be very different from what he had expected .
