Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The error lies in the third option .
" In " is a preposition of place. The preposition " at " is generally used to indicate speed. Thus, "at" should replace "in" in the sentence to make the sentence grammatically accurate.
Therefore, the correct sentence is "Despite the speed at which he was driving, he couldn't reach on time".
