1. Each of the three faces in the 3D view should be involved in all pairings.
2. Two opposite faces cannot appear adjacent in the 3D view of a folded dice figure.
Based on the above diagram and rules, the following image can be formed.

Hence, the third option is correct.

Correct Answer: else

Solution : The second option is the correct answer since 'else' which is used to refer to an alternative or different thing fits perfectly in the sentence.

'Beside' is a preposition that typically indicates proximity or location next to something. 'Or' is a conjunction used to present alternatives or choices. 'On' is a preposition that denotes location or position. None of these options fit in with the intended meaning of the sentence.

So, the final complete sentence is "Did you find anybody else there?"

Therefore, the correct answer will be: Pompous person

Third option: GTHS; G + 1 = H; T – 1 = S
Fourth option: LOIR; L – 3 = I; O + 3 = R

So, the fourth option is different from the other three options because the difference in the positional values of the letters is different. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
