Her family lost their way on Daman.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. in.
Error Concept: Incorrect use of preposition.
What is wrong: The preposition “on” is incorrectly used with the place Daman.
Grammatical Concept: When referring to being within the boundaries of a city or place, we use the preposition “in”, not “on.”
Incorrectness in context: The phrase “lost their way on Daman” is wrong because “on” refers to surfaces, while “in” is used for enclosed areas like cities.
Correction: Replace “on” with “in”.
Correct Phrase: lost their way in Daman
Final Sentence: Her family lost their way in Daman.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
