Explanation -
- We can see in the sentence that'suddenly' is utilised with 'came across'.
- The phrase 'come across' indicates 'to meet unexpectedly or by chance.'
- Therefore, the words'suddenly' or 'by chance' cannot be used with 'came across'.
- As a result, the right answer is "When I was going to the bar counter, I came across my father." -
- 'Across' is the preposition used in the given sentence.
- - A preposition is a word that connects nouns, pronouns, or phrases within a sentence. They serve to connect the people, objects, time, and places in a statement.
- - Prepositions are often brief words that are used directly in front of nouns.
- We see prepositions in front of gerund verbs in some circumstances..
