New: SSC Stenographer Application Form 2024 Released
Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: while the night
Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.
The word "while" is used incorrectly here. "While" is typically used to indicate a contrast or a simultaneous occurrence of two actions. In this context, it seems that the intended meaning is to describe a period of time ("the night") when something happened ("we felt afraid"). "During" should be used to indicate the time frame ("the night") and maintain the intended meaning of the original sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: During the night, we felt afraid as the resort was very dark and secluded.
