Improve the bracketed part of the sentence.
Once, a farmer was pulling his cart full of vegetables uphill to the market, he saw a man (sitting on) the roadside.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Sitting by.
- We need to use 'by' in place of 'on' as 'by' means 'by the side of'.
- It is not necessary to write 'by the side of' as 'side' is already mentioned in 'roadside'.
The correct sentence will be-
Once, a farmer was pulling his cart full of vegetables uphill to the market, he saw a man sitting by the roadside.
