No matter what Ashoka did in his earlier years, in the ending he proved to be uncommonly virtuous and wise.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2, i.e. years, in the ending he proved to be uncommonly.
- 'Ending' means a termination or conclusion whereas 'end' specifically means the final point of something or some journey. The given sentence talks about the final point of Ashoka's life, which is why it is appropriate to use 'end' instead of 'ending' in the sentence.
