Correct Answer: Many a time


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation:

The phrase "most time" is not idiomatic in this context. The correct idiomatic expression is "many a time" to indicate frequency. The fourth option provides the correct substitution, making the sentence grammatically accurate and maintaining the intended meaning.

So, the correct sentence would be: Many a time, they didn't have enough to eat and went to bed hungry.
