Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Correct Answer: led to
Explanation
• The phrasal verb lead to (past/participle: led to) means to result in or cause a particular outcome.
• The preposition in after 'led' is incorrect when denoting causation or result. Therefore, 'led in' must be replaced with led to.
• Example: Hard work and dedication led to her success in the examination.
