Correct Answer: Besides myself, the only English people


Solution : The third option is the correct answer.

"Beside" should be replaced with "besides" to convey the intended meaning. "Besides" is used to mean "in addition to" or "apart from," whereas "beside" is commonly used to indicate the location of someone or something in relation to another, suggesting closeness or proximity.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "Besides myself, the only English people there were Keith and Doreen."
