Correct Answer: through


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation:

The phrase through the hole indicates that Beaumont saw the inside of the stomach by observing through the opening or opening created, likely as a result of the medical situation he was dealing with. It suggests direct visual access to the interior of the stomach, emphasising the unique and valuable opportunity he had for observation.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: Beaumont took it as a great opportunity to see the inside of the stomach through the hole.
